  Madagascar is an amazing, unique country. Our driver and guide, Antsa, went out of his way to ensure us the best trip possible. He is knowledgeable, personable and a lot if fun. It was an overall great experience.

  The tour was a fantastic experience and we certainly saw a lot of Madagascar. There was a lot of driving and the roads are in terrible condition so it was quite tiring but our driver and guide Jakka was amazing. Seeing the lemurs in the wild was a once in a lifetime experience as was seeing the Avenue of the Baobabs.

  Just wow! Very good tour guide, Antsa. Our tour took us from Antananarivo east then west to the coast and back to Antananarivo. Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in the world and really is not tourist ready in most places. Expect power outages daily. Some of our hotels had generators, one did not. There really is no road system across Madagascar. Most unpaved or full of potholes and was very dusty when we were there. The ride is rough and long across the country, so be prepared. However, we loved the country, sights and people! The Baobab trees and lemurs were fantastic. Be sure to go the gem market in Antsirabe, Not on the tour, but I asked to go, so we went. Unbelievable prices! No credit cards, only cash. Take your debit card to Madagascar because they don't like US dollars and credit cards are not accepted in most places, only Malagasy dollars. ATM's are few and far between, so be prepared. Your guide should know where they are so ask if you need money, and you will. If you like to shop, the woven baskets range in price from $1-3, so leave room in your suitcase! Don't drink any water here - only bottled, which our tour guide provided. No diet sodas anywhere in Madagascar, so if you have to have it, bring it with you. In spite of the inconveniences, we really enjoyed this trip!

  Perfectly organised and always on time! Great experience through and through. Perfect for seeing as much of central madagascar if time is limited.

  Felt safe and everything worked as planned. Got to see a lot, but much time was spent driving so you have to enjoy seeing the countryside from a car. And all the roads were seen in both directions. Zaka was a good driver and a gentle person. Be prepared for up to 4 hours walks in steep forrests and resorts with many stairs. Apart from the stay in Tana Wifi was missing or unstable in the room. Buying 3 GB eSIM was a good investment. What could be improved was practical info, both before the trip and before leaving the resort for an excursion. Local guides could ask like "What? Did you not bring a torch?" or "You should have had sandals".

  Fabulous tour! Antsa was far more than a driver—he added so much to our experience. Priceless!

  As other reviews have said, there is a LOT of driving over less than okay roads. Outside of that, this is an excellent introductory experience for Madagascar. Plenty of lemurs and baobabs, as advertised. What makes this -- or any trip like this special - is the guide/driver. And Antse was incredible. Always in good humor and had stories and history to tell during our long drives in the vehicle. Be prepared for some great food -- and more just okay food (but that's not what you take this trip for!) Some bathroom stops if necessary in the middle of nowhere... all part of the experience, in our opinion! You could spend considerably more and fly from point to point, but you'd be missing out on the changing landscapes and seeing how the wonderful Malagasy people live.

  What an amazing experience! The tour was very well organised, we managed to see all the attractions as presented in the itinerary, with plenty of time to explore at each stop. Our driver guide Antsa was super polite, knowledgeable and made his best to keep us entertained and informed. He accommodated all our stop requests and was flexible with the schedule of the day. I couldn’t have asked for a better driver guide. The distances between the attractions are quite big and the infrastructure of the Madagascar needs improvements, one must be aware that some big amount of time will be spent in the car travelling (and as mentioned in the itinerary), but we made the most of this and enjoyed the scenery snd got plenty of local stories from Antsa to keep us entertained. Hotels were acceptable (with a bit of a quality challenge in Morondava where rooms can be better cleaned and updated, and card payment was not always available, with the change being a challenge for the cash payments). However, amazing experience and definitely will do it again if I’ll have to decide.

  We had a great 9 day experience in Madagascar! It was just the two of us on the tour which surprised us but Roger was a fantastic driver and was happy to answer our questions, and also to indulge our requests to stop by local markets to sample the foods. The wildlife and baobab trees were incredible however, like over reviews, please be mindful that you will spend about 3 days in total just driving in the car. One day was 11 hours. If you are happy to look out of the window and enjoy the beautiful scenery (may be download an audiobook!) then you’ll be fine but they are long days. We were a little surprised to find some items of the itinerary were not included (no rickshaw rides) mainly due to travel time (understandable, dirt roads and broken down trucks are common) but also that we were expected to buy the driver lunch (we would be willing to buy anyone a lunch after driving us 11 hours! But to know in advance would be appreciated). There was one day we requested not to attend another nature walk considering it was another 4 hour drive (after an 11 hour drive the day before) and that allowed us a little time to stop and enjoy the beautiful beach and scenery. That said, we look back on our trip very fondly. And thank Roger for always making sure we were well looked after!
