Professionalism At Its Finest
5/5

In October 2025, I completed a fantastic tour with Madagascar Natural Tours. The itinerary included three days in beautiful Andasibe Park as well as multiple days on the west coast in Kirindy Forest and Tsingy. For wildlife viewing, Andasibe was unmatched. The lush rainforests, the quiet atmosphere, and the sheer amount of lemurs (in particular, the haunting indris and mischievous diademed sifaka) leaping through the trees was simply breathtaking. The drier forest of Kirindy provided close-up encounters with brown lemurs, who leapt from branch to branch at eye-level, unbothered by their human fans. It was a perfect mix and sampling of this wildlife-packed country. The eight hour bumpy drive to Tsingy proved to be worth it 100 times over as well. Note that the drive to Tsingy and the climb up are not for the faint of heart. But when in Madagascar, one must go. The limestone cliffs caught by sunlight and dotted with treetops is a view I will never forget. All in all, Madagascar is in a realm all of its own for wildlife and nature. Plus, each lodging location selected by this tour company was wonderful (be sure to request Relais de Mantadia when in Andasibe - it was so peaceful, the utilities were excellent, and it was perfectly located near the park).

With regards to the specifics of Madagascar Natural Tours: my driver for the east, Harrison, and my driver for the west, Mr. Mahefa, were exceptional. They were both extremely punctual EVERY DAY, friendly, helpful, dependable, and always ready to make the long journeys to and from the parks more enjoyable. As a solo female traveler, I can say without hesitation that the drivers are the most important factor for safety and comfort throughout a tour - they are the connection to every lodge and every guided walking tour and can really make or break the trip. Harrison and Mr. Mahefa were fantastic. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism.

While all of the above made Madagascar Natural Tours stand out as a wonderful tour company, Madagascar Natural Tours truly shone bright when things did NOT go as planned. A cancelled international flight, rescheduled domestic flight, and civil unrest that led to the dissolution of the government all happened during my trip. All potentially could have derailed my tour of Madagascar, but did not. And they did not because Mr. Harilala seamlessly adjusted my itinerary to ensure my safety, while still prioritizing my desire to see the fantastic parks of Madagascar. The first hiccup happened when my connecting flight to Madagascar was cancelled and rescheduled for the next day. Because everything in the itinerary was booked in advance, that meant I would not be able to make my domestic flight to the west as planned. Over the course of the evening (and while I was stranded in Addis Ababa), Mr. Harilala was able to rearrange my itinerary based on the availability of other domestic flights and lodges, ensuring I still visited the parks I wanted to, but rearranged the order of the park visits and made minor changes to the amount of days I would be in each park. This was an incredible feat to accomplish in so little time - for while every lodge and domestic flight had been booked, everything was changed and ready to go prior to my arrival in the country. Importantly, Mr. Harilala was present at the airport with Harrison upon my arrival into Madagascar and explained in detail the changed itinerary, putting my mind at ease that everything had been worked out. The biggest test, however, arrived in the form of civil unrest when I drove into Tana with Harrison after leaving Andasibe. Because of the protests and accompanying road blocks, Harrison and I were stuck on the street for hours, unable to reach the hotel, and unable to to leave the area. Of course, this was unprecedented. But with Harrison’s patience and intuition for keeping the client safe, and Mr. Harilala finding a last-minute alternative hotel outside of the city, we were able to safely make it to another hotel and resume the itinerary - which had to be adjusted AGAIN because of a rescheduled domestic flight due to the protests. And yet, I was able to STILL make it to Kirindy Park for multiple walking tours, leading to some fantastic lemur sightings!

Overall, suffice to say that the professionalism of Madagascar Natural Tours was strenuously tested during my stay in Madagascar. And this tour company came out on top. By prioritizing client safety, selecting lodges that were beautiful and client-focused, employing such personable, responsible drivers, and always keeping in mind the client’s ultimate desire to see the natural beauty of this country, Madagascar Natural Tours has proven to be the best of the best.

For these reasons, I highly recommend Madagascar Natural Tours for all of your Madagascar adventures.

Good reliable operator providing a quality trip.
4/5

We travelled through Madagascar for 4 weeks with Madagascar Natural Tours. We enjoyed reliable and punctual service and had guides that were considerate of our preference to see wildlife in the National Parks. The roads are terrible, but our driver was always considerate of our comfort and tried to make it as smooth as possible.

Incredible
5/5

We entrusted Harilala with our Madagascar tour, explaining what we wanted to see and visit. What can I say? He exceeded our expectations! Besides the wonderful tour, Solo and Fidele, our tour leaders, made the difference. We spent 20 days in Madagascar, and they flew by; everything was fantastic. We'll definitely be back to see the southernmost part of the country.

Outstanding & flexible support - before and during our trip
5/5

From initial communications, through itinerary changes to accommodate flights and interests, Harilala provided prompt, excellent service. Throughout the trip, the main and local guides had fantastic personalities and were excellent when managing rough roads and helping with challenging climbs. Pricing was very good value for what we received in both support and experiences. Madagascar is challenging but amazing and incredibly rewarding. And, don't miss the opportunity to eat at the Mad Zebu. Great food, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. I can't recommend Harilala and his team at Madagascar Natural Tours enough.

Faultless attention to every detail of our requests.
5/5

Madagascar Natural Tours customised a special tour of their amazing island, providing helpful guides, all the experiences we requested, excellent communication and attention to every detail. In every circumstance (some of which were altered because of bad weather), they organised perfect alternatives so we completed all the activities and saw all the destinations. The cost seemed reasonable although it was irrelevant by the end of the tour. It was worth whatever the cost. We 3 adults recommend this company unreservedly.
