Madagascar Wildlife tour is one of our most popular tours allowing you to explore some of Madagascar’s spectacular, protected areas for their compellingly unique wildlife in a diverse range of habitats. You will see many species of lemurs, endemic birds, reptiles such as chameleons, and an unsurpassed array of plants, from baobabs to orchids.

These tours are led by experienced, higly-praised, professional guides. The itinerary includes a coastal stop at Ifaty, bordered by spiny bush. Accommodation is always in the best lodges or hotels at each of the locations in the itinerary.

A private, tour, taking in the protected lemur-rich rainforests of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park (Perinet) and the deciduous dry forest of Anjajavy, as well as providing opportunities to observe Malagasy culture, explore the capital and relax at the beach. Anjajavy is one of the very best hotels in Madagascar, with an incomparable setting, great facilities and a wide choice of activities.

You will get to know a compellingly unique destination filled with an abundance of endemic flora and fauna,  a ‘world apart’. Your two week Madagascar family holiday will be spent travelling through Madagascar’s incredibly diverse landscapes, allowing your children to experience a fantastic array of settings. In the cultural melting pot  with influences and elements of South-East Asia, Eastern Africa and India, along with hints of French and Chinese, your children will be surrounded by refreshingly different customs and traditions. Their horizons will certainly be broadened by engaging in this very different way of life.

The first part of your Madagascar family holiday will be in the rainforest wonderland of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park. During your excursions with your private guide there, you’ll encounter iconic rainforest wildlife, in some cases up close.  You can also learn about the importance of conservation programmes being conducted in the area and if you wish, we can arrange for some participation in one the initiatives being carried out there by a local NGO, Association Mitsinjo.

For the second part of your Madagascar family holiday you will travel north to the otherworldly Ankarana National Park, where you see awe- inspiring limestone formations, notably ‘tsingy’ pinnacle fields. The ‘Lost World Within a Lost World’ is arguably the most impressive and awe inspiring place in an already very different destination. During your time at Ankarana, you will also get to know the wildlife of the far northern region.

End the holiday with time in the Nosy Be archipelago, off the sublime and tropical north-west coast. Although the white sand beaches and salty sea air are a contrast from the ruggedly beautiful national parks, exotic wildlife still abounds. Snorkel the vibrant coloured underwater world of the coral reefs off Nosy Tanikely marine reserve island, and see lemurs at Lokobe National Park.
