What people love about Private Tours in Madagascar
- Eastern Wonder
I had a great time seeing lemurs at the national park.
- Ranomafana National Park & Antisirabe Safari 5Days/4Nights
Overall excellent, really pleased to have got to experience a slice of Madagascar. Extremely well looked after from start to finish, clear schedule and guides met me at every step of the way. Guides were excellent and a pleasure to be with, always felt safe. Accommodation was varied in terms of location but always very impressive with excellent food. You will need to survive on bottled water in Madagascar, but this wasn't a problem. Itinerary delivered incredible sights, loveable lemurs and good variety of location. Unfortunately a problem for me was the tour itinerary I booked for included a trip to tsingy de bemaraha which was what I was most looking forward to. This location was far away from the tour so was not practical. As a result this changed to a day of travel to St Marie island, which to my horror started at 3am (no other times or air transfer). With very rough roads and choppy seas I needed to recuperate the previous day which was free time rather than enjoying the many activities that could have been available. Retrospectively would much rather have travelled back to the capitol the way I came. Conclusion: Check the itinerary is as described as well as how many guests are on the tour before booking. But if you want to visit Madagascar, I'd recommend going as an organised tour and this one is great.

We had a comfortable rest and great breakfast at every location."
What unique experiences can I expect on a Private tour in Madagascar?
