Learning about the diverse places in Madagascar…often a thrilling and lovely surprise. From the baobabs to the lemurs to the chameleons, the animal/plant life and trying to understand its evolutionary development was eye-opening! (more)Marianne Werner

There was just so much more to see and hear than we imagined Tsingy National Park: Such a unique and bizarre landscape. Chameleons and birds: Without the guides we doubt we would have seen so many but the number and variety was astonishing. Whale watching and snorkeling with the turtles and Angle Fish camping on the riverside and the meal prepared that night after the canoe trip. (more)Eric Gussin

Memorable parts? All of it - but especially the whale watching and being up close to the all the different lemurs.

Take in the country on the drives. This is so much more than a trip to see lemurs. Local benefits? As paying visitors we felt we supported the local ... (more)Teresa Bennett

The tour did visit a local wildlife sanctuary and our tour leader did find out of the way places in small villages to purchase food and ... (more)Lindsay (Mr) Challoner

Memorable parts? The very first morning at Saint Luce, we were up pre-dawn and walked down to the estuary. There several pirogues took us across the lagoon to the mangrove waterways and then back again.

Part of the mystery and beauty of Madagascar was revealed on that memorable morning. Tips? Read every bit of information sent out by the agent about ten ... (more)Alison Anderson

Memorable parts? There were so many highlights on our holiday, that it is difficult to identify the most memorable/exciting ones. However, a close encounter with an Indri lemur with her young baby was really special. On another occasion, some common brown lemurs shared our picnic lunch, which was entertaining! The rain forests were amazing for the diversity of flora and fauna and the Red Tsingy were quite incredible and so unusual. Visiting a bat cave was also quite an experience. ... (more)Diane Beavis

Memorable parts? Without a doubt the most memorable bit was our stay on Tsarabanjina - it was absolutely paradise and the most wonderful end to a great few weeks. The whole trip was both memorable and exciting, however, with so much variety in terms of activities and accommodation. Tips? Ask the Malagasy guides loads of questions and get them to take you to places off the beaten track. Going into smaller local restaurants were some of the best parts of our trip! Local ...
