Madagascar Trips & Tours

A weirdly wonderful island wilderness where rare creatures and exceptional landscapes reign supreme.

The world’s fourth-largest island, Madagascar is more like a mini continent. Its remarkable ecosystem supports large numbers of bizarre creatures, and an incredible 80 percent of the critters that call the forests home are endemic – they are not found anywhere else in the world. From lemurs to dancing sifakas and every rainbow-coloured chameleon in between, Madagascar is a wildlife-lover's dream. And then there are the landscapes – eccentric, colourful and full of contrasts, from tropical jungle and parched desert to grassy plateaus and spiny forests. Add a blend of African, Asian and European cultures, and the country becomes one in a million. A Madagascar holiday may cost more than other destinations on the continent, but it’s worth every cent.

Why you'll love your Madagascar Trips & Tours package

Why you'll love it

Madagascar is a destination with a difference (animals really do change colour before your eyes, and the lemurs really do dance!) with an enticing mix of adventure, wildlife and some chill time on the beach. And if Sir David Attenborough says it’s fantastic….

Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

Head to Madagascar’s wild and rugged south. You’ll be greeted by spiny forests and iconic baobabs, ring-tailed lemurs and paradisiacal landscapes (and the drive from Fort Dauphin is pretty good too).

Something to think about

Something to think about

You'd need endless amounts of time (and patience) to visit all of Madagascar, so pick a couple of areas and stick to them. Remember that even though areas may appear to be close together, internal transport is a tricky beast – flights have a habit of being delayed and roads are long and bumpy.

When to go on a Madagascar Trip

Madagascar’s prime season of travel starts in May and lasts until around September. These are the ‘dry’ season months and the weather is cooler and less humid making it a great time to explore - without getting too sweaty! At the beginning of the season (May & June) you might encounter a little rain in places, but it shouldn’t affect your travels or activities. In July, the whales start to arrive in the north of the country and stay until September, whilst September and October are some of the best times to see lemurs and their young. In November and December, temperatures are on the rise but it’s still a generally good time to travel. We would probably suggest avoiding January to March, however; it’s the height of the cyclone season and travel is tricky.
Although May to October is traditionally the best time to travel, the Masoala Peninsula is amazing through December."
