Ria was Great and always available!
When we landed in Tana, we really didn't know if anybody would be there or not too meet us. It is a little unnerving these days when you book things on the internet and aren't quite sure what you are getting. But Malagasy agents were right there to meet us there, and every place else we went. We changed our plans many, many times and Ria went along with it and made the changes without complaining.
When I first started looking into madagascar trips, I contacted a few different companies, but no other companies were able to take us to all of the places we wanted to go. Ria replied right away and accommodated all of our requests.
We went to Andasibe, Toliara and Ifaty, Kirindry and the Tsingys, and Noisy Be. We flew around a lot instead of driving and I'm glad we did that because the roads are somewhat brutal.
Whenever we had a hiccup of any sort, I would call Ria, and she would get it fixed within minutes. They weren't big things, but things like being locked out of my room, and other little things.
We stayed in nice accommodations. We really loved everything we did, but since we are snorkelers, nosy be was our favorite. We added on a day of snorkeling, and it was a little unorganized, but that was due to the tour company in Nosy Be. Again, Ria was right on top of getting it straightened out.
Our favorite lemur encounter was up in Andesibe. It was beautiful. It's really hard to get to the tsingys, but I think it was worth it as long as you do it. The Avenue of the baobobs was nice. Kirindy was our least favorite, but at least it gave us a break on the brutal drive to the tsingys.
We had hoped to go out to the reef in ifaty, but weather conditions prevented it. We did go in a zebu cart to the spiny forest there. We went to three different islands in Nosy Be snorkeling. We returned to one of them for a 4th day. Fabulous lunches every day on the beach. Great fish. Nosy Be was or favorite place.
I guess it was good value for the money. I don't really have anything to compare it with.
I would definitely recommend Ria at malagasy travel!!!
Also, please allow plenty of time in Madagascar, because the infrastructure makes it difficult to get around.

Prompt, professional, courteous service. Highly recommend.
After submitting a request for a quote, within 2 hours, I received a response from Malagasya Travel (Ria). She was highly professional, immediately customized the tour according to our stated goals, came up with a revised quote no later than a day. It was a multi-day tour, with a number hotels to book and tours to organize. There was absolutely no delay on her part, and this made our job of selecting the company very easy. I felt very comfortable doing business with the company, especially because of Ms. Ria.
From the time we were picked up at the airport in Tana, and until we departed, their team, our tour guide and driver, became our second family in Madagascar. There were no problems along the way. Our driver was especially skillful in navigating challenging Madagascar roads. We felt very safe traveling with this team.
I would highly recommend them.

The whole trip has been organised perfectly with nice hotels, a great mix of local restaurants and the best activities we could wish for. A huge shout-out goes to our guides Luciano and Love who have been perfect! Definitely a recommendation!

A professional tour operator that made planning easy, making the trip truly unforgettablE
I had an amazing experience during my trip to Andasibe and the Akanin’ny Nofy Palmarium Reserve. The communication was flawless—quick, friendly. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, making the tours through the lush rainforests of Andasibe truly come alive with stories about the unique wildlife, especially the adorable lemurs.
The service was top-notch, from comfortable transportation to well-chosen accommodations that perfectly matched the vibe of each destination. Visiting the Palmarium Reserve and staying in the middle of nature was like stepping into another world—so peaceful and filled with rare species I never thought I’d see up close.
In a nutshell this trip was a perfect balance of adventure, nature and relaxation. I’d absolutely recommend Malagasya Travel to anyone looking for a unique Madagascar adventure.

Very proficient and knowledgeable tour organiser in Madagascar
Malagasya Travel organized a 7 day private trip through Madagascar for me and my wife. All the hotel, flight and tour guide bookings worked very well. Hotels and Lodges selected were among the best you can get in Madagascar. Drivers and cars were of good quality and brought us safely to all the destinations chosen. Pricing was reasonable. I can fully recommend Malagasya travel as a tour organiser for Madagascar. For German guests it might be important to mention that they speak German and all the organisation can be done in German.

Perfect organisation
We spent 23 days travelling through Madagascar with Malagasya Travel and were able to enjoy the beauty of this country to the fullest. The itinerary was perfectly tailored to our wishes. We had a very good driver in Christian. Thanks to him we were able to gain a deep impression of the country. Many thanks to the entire team at Malagasya Travel.

Excellent service
From the day I arrived Malagasya Travel were tops ! The accommodation I was booked into was relative to the area . I found the food at most places average as it seemed everywhere there was a shortage due to poverty and road transportation. The Malagasya Travel provided THE BEST drivers and guide. My guide Lova actually made the trip - patient, kind, caring, thoughtful and very considerate with a wonderful sense of humour ! It made all the difference with some of the sightseeing in places extreme. Alicia, the booking agent also excelled in all that I asked for.
Thank you Malagasya Travel.

Very friendly and helpful
Great tour, be aware that it takes hours to drive short distances in Madagascar due to the roads, however the untouched scenery is unbelievable.
Tour guide and driver were impeccable
