Discover Madagascar

The island continent of Madagascar is a unique part of Africa, where the normal rules don’t seem to apply. Our small group tours to Madagascar offer a chance to experience wildlife found nowhere else on the planet. The world’s fourth largest island packs a lot within its borders, from high peaks and gorgeous beaches to thick rainforests and desert-like landscapes. Despite gaining in popularity over the last decade or so, tours to Madagascar reveal a place that still retains a delightful laidback charm, making little concession to tourism.

Apart from the island's amazing scenery and animal life, Madagascar, a former French colony, is also a melting pot of diverse cultures and traditions. With more than 18 different ethnic groups, the Malagasy culture is a mix of African, Arab, and Indian origins, featuring some of the friendliest locals in all of Africa. Whether you're exploring the unique landscapes or immersing yourself in local traditions, holidays to Madagascar promise an unforgettable adventure.

Feedback from our Travellers

  • Kept us well informed before we travelled and answered all our queries honestly. The price was very good for all the inclusions we had. We spent 3 weeks touring Madagascar from east to west and down to the south. Really good drivers and guides who spoke excellent English. The roads are indeed awful but it means the pace of the holiday allows you to really engage with the countryside as you are travelling. The national parks are interesting and varied. Hotels were better than expected and the food was plentiful and well presented, It is a very poor country and its best to be prepared for the amount of begging in both the cities and in the countryside.

  • An amazing tour of the rain forests and dry forests of Madagascar. 11 species of lemur seen, most closer than you would imagine, and numerous species of chameleon and birds. We also saw a wild fossa and a humpbacked whale! The accommodation was superb in all of the places we stayed in. The food was exceptional too. Grand Tsingy has to be seen to be believed. A challenging hike but so rewarding. Our guide Olivier made the trip for us. So organised, so accommodating, so knowledgeable. We were very impressed with the tour operator. Absolutely no hiccups in the entire trip. Everything had been carefully thought of and organised.

  • Our trip was a tailor made holiday for 2 couples to Madagascar. Our travel consultant listened carefully to what we wanted from the trip and advised us as we liaised to build the itinerary. Once in Madagascar the service was excellent. We chose to take a driver and local guides where required. This worked perfectly with good communication and very friendly and professional service. All accommodation was well chosen using various standards as we had requested.... couldn't have wished for better and would certainly not hesitate to use this company again!! Excellent. Listened well to our requirements and provided an excellent service throughout with excellent communication all the way.

  • All my questions regarding Madagascar were handled perfectly and promptly. Everybody was incredibly helpful at Undiscovered Destinations. The booking process was fast, efficient, and everything went smoothly without any issues. Dore is one of the very best tour guides I have had for any of my numerous overseas travels. He was of considerable help when I suffered a two day stomach ailment (a negative reaction to the anti-malarial I was prescribed) and even caught me when I slipped during the rain forest hike! he was incredibly friendly, cheerful, and knowledgeable. Dore was always willing and able to answer questions and take some amazing photographs for us along the way. The accommodations were beyond what I had anticipated! They were all truly excellent and impressive, especially the superb Vakona Lodge in Andasibe. What an amazing place to stay with uncommonly good meals and staff.

Everything was excellent, and I wish i was younger so I could do this trip all over again! The two trips I have booked through Undiscovered Destinations (Bangladesh and Madagascar) have been terrific beyond my expectations. The itineraries, the travel experience, guides and drivers, as well as all personnel with Undiscovered Destinations were so friendly, helpful, and frank. I never felt unsafe, unsure, and learned so much. All communications between me and Undiscovered Destinations were super helpful.
