About this trip
This is a private trip through Madagascar for just you and whoever you're travelling with — family or friends, no other travellers joining. You start any day you like, and if the suggested route doesn't suit you, you can request changes before you go.
Over 14 days you move from highland villages to desert hiking country to the coast, taking in the island's wildlife, landscapes and a slower pace of local life along the way.
What you'll do
- Spot lemurs, chameleons, geckos and baobabs on wildlife safari
- Visit a local village near Antsirabe and see daily life there
- Hike through the desert landscapes and forests of Isalo National Park
- Relax on the beach at Ifaty and watch for migrating whales in season
- Private tour for your group only, with your own guide
- Itinerary can be adjusted to your preferences before departure
- Suits families as well as groups of friends
Worth it if you value knowledgeable guides and tailored experiences. Think twice if you're sensitive to rough roads, limited food variety, and potential baggage charges on domestic flights.
- Guides consistently praised for knowledge, friendliness, and accommodation; staff responsive before and during trip.
- Road conditions on NR7 are potholed with heavy trucks; domestic flight baggage allowance strictly enforced at 23kg, one bag only.
- Food quality variable; local pasta dishes lack expected flavour. Stick with zebu, fried potatoes, beer, or cocktails instead.
- Itinerary genuinely customizable and flexible; operator accommodates last-minute changes without fuss.
