Visit Madagascar
Madagascar is an entire ecosystem of its own. The air smells of damp earth and ylang-ylang. Baobabs stretch towards the sky like upturned roots. Lemurs call from the trees at dawn, their cries echoing across the spiny forests. Fishing boats drift along the coastline, their sails patched and sun-bleached. Inland, rice paddies shimmer, and red laterite roads kick up dust. This is Madagascar, raw and full of life.
Biodiversity You Won't See Elsewhere
90% of Madagascar’s wildlife exists nowhere else. Walk through the rainforest to spot indri lemurs, their eerie songs carrying through the trees. Chameleons shift colours in the undergrowth, and aye-ayes tap at bark to find insects hidden within. It's a weird and wonderful world!
Remote and Varied Landscapes
From Tsingy de Bemaraha’s sharp limestone pinnacles to the baobab-lined avenues of Morondava, Madagascar’s terrain is as diverse as its wildlife. Hike through lush rainforests, trek across red deserts, and relax on palm-fringed beaches where the only footprints are your own.
A Rich, Living Culture
Meet the Vezo fishermen on the southwest coast, whose hand-built pirogues glide through turquoise waters. In the highlands, watch craftsmen carve zebu horn into intricate jewellery. Listen to the rhythms of Malagasy music, share a meal of freshly grilled seafood, and experience traditions that have endured for centuries. Madagascar is its people.
Adventurous, Rewarding Travel
Madagascar isn’t always easy to navigate, but that’s the point. Slow down. Cross rivers by ferry, ride in a pousse-pousse, and experience a place where time moves differently. Travel off the beaten path, where dirt roads lead to hidden villages, and every journey is part of the adventure. You'll return home with the most remarkable travel stories to share.
Why Visit Madagascar With Us?
We know Madagascar because we’ve spent a lot of time exploring it. But we don’t just visit, we connect. Our work with the Madagascar Whale Shark Project on Nosy Be funds vital marine research. All profit from their science week expeditions that we manage on their behalf goes straight into the conservation and education work they do. On our small group trips we run a kitty using some of the trip profit to ensure money reaches remote communities, going directly into the hands of those rarely reached by tourism.
Our small group photography trips take you further than normal photographic itineraries. We don't just focus on wildlife, we fully immerse you into all Madagascar has to offer to allow you to build a very diverse portfolio as a result. Visit moonshine villages where few tourists stop. Join fishermen as they haul in their morning catch. Stand knee-deep in flooded rice paddies, watching farmers guide their zebu through the mud to plough the land.
We love Madagascar. Travel with us, and you’ll understand why.
