    This was an amazing trip really pushing the comfort zone and challenging. An opportunity to really see the countryside and the people of Madagascar who were all so friendly with broad smiles. At the hotel when there is no water on the system you need to remember many people in the street are having to carry their water home. The river trip was wonderful with so many birds and wildlife to watch and the guides and boatmen always concerned for your comfort and enjoyment. Willing to go at your pace and supporting and encouraging to complete any challenges. Wonderful memories.

    Andy

    Asked on November 5th, 2024

    I am looking into trips to Madagascar. I am interested in the tour for boababs, tsingy, and lemurs. I am wondering if you charge for a 4 year old child. We will only need a double room as our child will share a bed.

      TravelerWritten November 2024

      We have heard that the hike in Tsingy can be quite difficult - likely not appropriate for a 4 year old. Is it possible that my husband and I could do that on different days or times so that one of us could be doing an alternate activity with our son?

    • Green Island DiscoveryOperatorWritten November 2024

      Your husband and you can do the visit of the Tsingy on different times in one day but you need to go early in the morning. For that there is supplement for guide around 75$ US.
