Hard working, insightful, friendly and responsive!
We visited Madagascar in June of 2025 to explore the rainforests East of Tana. Our guide (Lucas) and driver (Janot) made us feel immediately at home and were able to answer our flood of questions as well as give us insights into the cultures, flora, and fauna of the area. They quickly and quietly handled changes in plans due to weather or our needs with good nature. We arrived with no French or Malagasy skills and Lucas was able to gently coach us through Malagasy pleasantries and assist us at markets (which won us a lot of good will as we exited customs! :D ). The company owner even made a stop by to wish us well at the end of the trip.
Absolutely fantastic trip! Would highly recommend rolling with these guys!

Took care of everything!
We had a fabulous time with a private vehicle, kind attentive staff, and we saw so many lemurs! it was the perfect vacation in a beautiful setting. They were informative and so helpful throughout the entire trip. No complaints!

Great Tour Despite a few Hicoughs
Did a 15 day Safari Madagascar Birding & Wildlife Tour (in reverse from the advertised), which was excellent.
I'd say that the mark of a good tour operator is a getting things right and when they don't, having suitable backup. So when our car gave up, they got another one in to get us to our destination and found alternatives for the couple of days in Ranomafana. The final day though ended up with our first driver and car, which wasn't so great for travelling along Madagascar's poor roads. A good 4x4 would have been a lot better.
The tour itself was superb, great wildlife, stuning scenery, good guides working hard to find the best of the wildlife in the jungle and rain forrest.
Would throughly recommend.

Organized and efficient
We have just done a 10 day tour with Madagascar Natural Tours and it exceeded our expectations! We could not have managed that country without them as we don't speak French! I have always been strongly opposed to tours as I like to do my own thing when traveling but they catered our trip to still feel that way!

Well organized and professional in responding to emails
I chose Harilala Madagascar Natural Tours because he understood my request and responded so well on all my back to back emails. The hotel in Antananarivo and Lodge in Andsibe were perfect and the trip to the Lemurs was amazing. I loved every minute of my stay in Madagascar. Jocelyn the guide was so helpful too. Thank you Harilala and the team.

Amazing tour - trip of a lifetime!
We have recently finished a 10 day tour of Madagascar in April 2025 using the operator “Madagascar Natural Tours” from start to finish it almost felt too good to be true, I have never met any one else from Australia who has been to Madagascar so we were very hesitant in whether it would be safe and had no idea how to organise a holiday there or what to expect.
Harilala was extremely professional and communicative the entire way and answered every single (too many) questions of ours and made us feel comfortable and excited. He planned our itinerary just perfectly we listed a couple of things we had wanted to see - baobab avenue, lemurs and Nosy Be. He organised our whole itinerary, accomodation and flights for us so that it flowed seamlessly. He provided options in accomodation as we were seeking honeymoon style resorts. The hotels that he booked were beautiful, clean, great food and lovely staff!
We had a few internal flights in our itinerary and it was so nice stepping off the plane and trusting that there would be a guide there waiting for us to get us to our hotel. The few times during our stay we had a question regarding our tour, Harilala would reply to our messages almost immediately and paid very careful attention to ensure we were happy and getting the most out of our tour. Using Madagascar Natural Tours took all stress out of the holiday / planning and allowed us to just show up and make memories of a lifetime!
I would highly recommend this company to anybody curious to explore Madagascar! Particularly if you do not speak French, we struggled with the language barrier however all guides had amazing English which was such a relief. We can’t wait to come back in a few years time!!

Truly outstanding, every detail was perfect for an unforgettable experience!
I had a truly wonderful experience with Madagascar Natural Tours. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully organized and professionally handled. The tailor-made itinerary allowed me to experience all the major highlights of Madagascar at a comfortable and well-paced rhythm, perfectly balancing travel days with exciting activities.
The guides and my driver were absolutely excellent: knowledgeable, friendly, and always ensuring I was enjoying myself. They even introduced me to some local restaurants, adding to the travel experience. The accommodations and locations throughout the tour were consistently of good quality and well-situated.
Special thanks to Harilala, who was incredibly helpful both during the planning and the trip itself. He was always available to answer any questions and made me feel well taken care of at every step. I highly recommend Madagascar Natural Tours to anyone looking to explore this beautiful country.

good service despite some problems
overall a good agency that was able to deal well with some problems such as the cancellation of a flight and the need to reorganize some stages of the tour. they were flexible in the choice and offered us the possibility of upgrading some hotels at the last minute. very good at managing the naturalistic part, less so when it came to making us visit the capital and surrounding areas, they need to structure the part regarding Tana better too, paying attention to the opening and closing times of the attraction (We happened to arrive in front of the monuments and find them closed, or to arrive on site and not have a guide). we had chosen to do a long drive which turned out to be even longer than expected as the organizer was not well informed about the state of the roads after the monsoons. overall I would recommend this agency, Harilala was very helpful and always reachable on whatsapp, he answered all our questions and also showed us his house before going to the airport.

Nabinina was knowledgeable, entertaining and well spoken.
Harilala and his crew were wonderful to work with. They were accommodating of our travel plans and were able to make a tour of Madagascar as far reaching and enjoyable as our schedule allowed. Harilala went the extra mile to make sure that even on either side of the tour, we were equipped with the knowledge of what we could do and how we would get around. Communicating with him over WhatsApp was always timely.

Two wildlife trips in Northern Madagascar
We arrived first for a day in Noisy Be and we're met at the dock straight off our cruise ship. The car was modern and in good condition and our driver was careful. Our guide Christian spoke good English and both Christian and our driver Jake new the wildlife and what we wanted to see. Arriving at our destination we walked through mangrove and across beach to Lokobe Reserve. All the way wildlife was picked out for us by our guides. We saw rare and endemic birds, Lemurs and several species of Chameleon and other reptiles. Great trip and delivered back to the port in time. Thanks.
The next trip was from Antiserenana to Amber Mountains NP. This matched up to the previous trip and this firm would be recomended.
