Our island, your journey
A forest walk around Andasibe feels very different from standing beneath western baobabs or following the road towards the southern landscapes. Madagascar is not a place to squeeze into one quick circuit. Choose the places that draw you in, then give them time.
We are a local tour operator in Madagascar. With local guides in the places we visit, we help you connect those places into a journey that makes sense for you.
Talk to us about your journeyMadagascar’s long isolation has shaped plants and animals found nowhere else. Forest walks invite you to look beyond the first lemur sighting and notice the habitat around it. Local guides help you understand what you are seeing. Wildlife encounters are never guaranteed, so leave room for discovery rather than a checklist.
Forests, dry landscapes, highland roads and coastlines call for different kinds of journeys. Start with what matters most to you: wildlife, walking, landscapes or time by the sea. Then compare the routes and their pace. A shorter list of places can leave more room to enjoy each stop.
We work with local guides in the places we visit. Their knowledge brings context to a landscape and helps us approach each visit thoughtfully. Give wildlife space, follow your guide’s directions and ask before photographing people. Respect is part of the journey, not an extra activity.
These are starting points for choosing your journey, not a promise that every tour visits every region. Follow your curiosity, then check the actual itinerary.

Interested in the northern coast? Ask us about separate planning rather than assuming it is part of a listed group tour.
Ask about a northern journeyOur genuinely small group tours are all inclusive, with guaranteed departures subject to booking conditions. Compare the routes, then check your chosen tour’s programme, inclusions, exclusions and departure terms before booking.
Find your small group tourCheck your tour’s start and finish locations before arranging arrival flights or onward travel. Some journeys begin in Morondava or Toliara, and some finish in Morondava or Ifaty. Madagascar In Depth starts and finishes in Antananarivo. Ask us to confirm the meeting point, required arrival time and onward arrangements before you book. A flight or transfer is included only when your specific booking says so.
Tell us about any time you would like before or after the group itinerary, so we can discuss it separately. Read our travel information, then check the departure calendar when you have found a route that interests you.
Our all inclusive small group programme brings together the accommodation, listed meals, programme transport, guiding and scheduled activities described in your chosen itinerary. Drinks and discretionary tips are extra. Read your route’s full inclusions and exclusions, and ask us to clarify flights, transfers, extra nights and anything not listed before booking.
We offer guaranteed departures for our small group tours. Confirm the applicable conditions and your chosen departure’s arrangements with us before booking flights. Booking terms still apply, and the guarantee is not a promise that travel cannot be disrupted. Private tours and extensions require separate confirmation.
Choose by your main interest. The west offers baobab and limestone landscapes, the east draws you towards forest around Andasibe, and the south includes Isalo and Anja. If you are interested in the northern coast, ask us about planning options. Check which places each itinerary actually visits.
Use the duration of your chosen tour as the starting point. Allow separately for getting to its start location and travelling onward from its finish. Ask us before adding another region to a trip that is already full.
Do not assume so. Confirm any private journey or extension separately, including its arrangements, inclusions and terms. See our private extensions if you would like to explore options around a group itinerary.
Read the activities in the individual itinerary and tell us about your needs before booking. A forest walk and a visit to limestone landscapes should not be treated as interchangeable activities. Ask us to clarify the demands of the specific route you are considering.
A forest, a landscape or a particular pace of travel is enough to start the conversation. We can help you narrow down the route before you make transport plans.
