Do you do birding trips in March 2024? We are interested in a birds (and wildlife) tour, 5-7 days, in Madagascar, between March 1-18.

If we have 7 days in Madagascar in March, which would be the best areas to see the most birds at that time (accessible during a 1 week trip)? What type of itinerary would you suggest?

I am wondering if the tour is running on September 22 to 26? I am a solo traveler, would like to join the tour that time.

We do not have a travel group. The trip can always be done solo for $1619.

Although the roads are sometimes terrible, the guide and driver were at their best do skip all potholes and full filing our requests on the way for changes to other hotels. We left some comments about a few things that could be different, but overall it was absolutely value for money and we had an excellent holiday.

I enjoyed green island tours. Very professional and organized. Vivi in particular was so lovely. He was knowledgeable, fun and flexible. He took care of everything. The hotels selected were mostly ok, however the Feon’ny Ala could do with some work on the plumbing. It’s beautifully located and serves the most incredible fresh croissants. Our driver was excellent and we felt safe, even on some very dodgy stretches of road. The tour is well designed from start to finish.

- Green Island DiscoveryOperator•Written March 2023
  The bird watching trip is feasible in March and remains valid for the year 2024. The best time for birding is between September to December, but some species can be seen all year, especially in March. We propose 2 national parks for 7 days: Andasibe Mantadia and Ankarafantsika - first starting in the east rainforest and then joining the northwest dry forest.

  Traveler•Written March 2023
  I have lately been hearing of many travelers I know running into heavy rains and cyclones in Madagascar in February and March. I think we will wait and plan to come another time in Sept-Nov rather than taking a risk of heavy rains in March.
