About this trip
Madagascar is a place apart — an island so large and isolated that much of its wildlife and landscape exists nowhere else. Over 14 days you move through this variety at an easy pace, with a local guide (called a CEO here) leading the way and explaining what you're seeing.
Expect close encounters with lemurs, time in villages to get a sense of everyday local life, and stretches of coastline to slow down on. It's a broad, easy-going introduction to the island rather than a deep dive into any one region.
What you'll do
- Spot lemurs in their natural habitat
- Explore village life and meet local communities
- Take in Madagascar's varied landscapes
- Spend time relaxing on the beach
- Travel with a local CEO guiding the group throughout
- Rated easy, so it suits those who want wildlife and culture without a demanding physical pace
- Covers a lot of ground across the island, mixing nature, villages and beach time rather than settling in one spot
Worth it if you love wildlife, community projects, and genuine local connection. Think twice if you need comfort, accurate itineraries, or dislike long bus days.
- Add 25% to all published travel times; roads are poor and conditions unpredictable throughout.
- Hotel standards inconsistent: broken showers, missing mosquito nets, bed bugs, theft reported, and basic hygiene issues.
- Homestay food safety concerns: water used for hand-washing also used for drinking; coffee and tea not boiled hot enough.
- Only three meals included; restaurants are expensive; baobab avenue not visited despite being expected by some.
