Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewThanks for the review, Kevin. We love hearing your Baobabs & Beyond trip was an excellent adventure. Madagascar is such a unique place, and we hope we get to travel with you again sometime soon.Trip date: July 2025 - AHAdam· July 4th, 2025The tour with Intrepid was outstanding and Madagascar is a beautiful country. It is noted elsewhere that the car journeys are long due to the poor conditions of the roads so don't be surprised by that. Roads aside, the sights on the tour are like nowhere else on the planet. The tour itself was made by our tour guide Patrick, who deserves the highest praise from Intrepid - his ability to lead the tour and take the time to answer every question thrown at him was well appreciated. Lastly, the experience has encouraged us to return to the country again one day. Many thanks Patrick and Intrepid. Additional note - do not expect 5 star luxury on the trip, the trip is designed to get a more authentic experience of Madagascar culture.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to post a review and for sharing your experience with others.

- KBKATHRYN· June 29th, 2025I was on the Baobabs and Beyond tour in Madagascar with my husband June 11-21. I agree with other reviewers that tours should be listed as 2 days shorter since the first day is only a late afternoon meeting and the last day just brings travelers back to the starting point. This trip was listed as requiring moderate fitness as a traveler and good for up to age 99. This is not a true depiction of what travelers encounter...having to squeeze through narrow openings in the tsingys on their stomachs, climb incredibly steep inclines, as well as having a constant concern about food safety. Of the 11 travelers on my trip, 2 men got violently sick requiring them to miss more than 2 days of activities. I witnessed two travelers vomit in front of me. For myself, I was super cautious, actually bringing much food from home (canned tuna, single-serve canned fruits, etc. Almost from day one I suffered extreme diahrrea...I did eat eggs at breakfast and very limited amounts of cooked vegetables, served to me in Madagascar on the tour. I was SICK. Immediately upon arrival in the States, I was diagnosed at the hospital with TWO severe types of E-COLI and severe GOUT resulting from the severe dehydration caused by the E-COLI. My husband and I are glad to have experienced Madagascar. However, while I understand that you are in business to make money and that Intrepid Tours are not billed as luxury honeymoon destinations, I adamantly believe that next to the rosy descriptions of the adventures travelers will encounter, you should mention precautions and warnings about the possible health risks and dangers lurking for potential travelers. It is incumbent upon your company to be upfront, honest and transparent. Otherwise, you lose credibilityShow moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to share your review.

Anne· November 4th, 2024This trip was an amazing experience all round- our guide Salohi was really hardworking and made a huge affront to keep us all happy, great to have a female guide too. The highlights for me were the Tsingys, the Baobab Avenue and the night walk where we saw many chameleons and a mouse lemur. The roads are bad but that is not the fault of theShow moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHello Anne, thank you for taking the time to post a review and for sharing your experience with others.
