Perfect organization in an extraordinary country
5/5

My husband, my 17-year-old daughter, and I spent 11 fantastic days in Madagascar!
Our desire was to discover the nature of this immense country. With the idea of seeing the whales, we chose the eastern tour, together with Theresia from Soul of Madagascar Tours, who advised and guided us.
From Antananarivo, we visited the reserves and park of Andasibe, a charming and welcoming town, isolated ourselves in the Palmarium Reserve, and traveled along the Pangalanes Canal, admiring its liveliness. Then we landed on the pirate island, Ile Saint Marie, where we left a piece of our hearts with the whales that were waiting for us.
Theresia chose the perfect hotels for us in every location, calculating times and experiences in the most suitable way to allow us to authentically discover a country with majestic nature and a smiling and welcoming people, despite the enormous difficulties in which they live.
Our guide Jules told us about traditions and contradictions, accompanying us to discover authentic and less touristy places. He was a valuable and very pleasant companion.
Thanks to Theresia and her perfect organization, we exceeded all our expectations for the trip; we will carry this country in our hearts until we return, who knows when! Definitely with Soul of Madagascar Tours!!!

The tour is excellent value for money. The guide is one of the best I've ever had. The cars used on the tour are comfortable, and the hotels are very pleasant.

Delivered what was promised - great experience
5/5

Soul of Madagascar is great agency. Reasonable price compare to other tour operators, very patient - as we were changing our routes a few times adding a new destination points, everything was done very well - a few times quality of the hotels exceeded our expectations. For 18-days safari it wasn't even one failure. Very good guide - Eric Zozo - he shared a lot of info, always helpful. We felt very well taken care of. Also, what is very important on very difficult Madagascar roads - very good drivers. I will always recommend this travel agency.

Perfect organisation and a very supportive team
5/5

We asked for an organised tour and everything went very smooth and the answers to our questions came immediately. We only had to transfer some money in advance to Madagaskar and we brought the rest in cash. The tour guide spoke a very good English and was always very informative and helpful. We had a wonderful time without worrying where to stay or how to get there. Don't underestimate distances because the roads are sometimes not very well maintained.

Extremely accommodating, top notch professional service!
5/5

Couldn't have picked a better tour company for our first trip to Madagascar! The communication was quick, clear, and consistent. The accomodations were stellar and the places we saw with local guides were exactly what we've been dreaming of. Such a professional company that left us so happy we went with them!

Excellent, organised
5/5

We had an amazing 5 day tour of Madagascar, thanks to the well organised itinerary done by Soul of Madagascar (Theresia). It was really maximised so we had experienced most of the highlights of Madagascar, from seeing the lemurs,Baobab avenue, baobab forrest, love baobab, sacred baobab, experiencing sunset at the baobab avenue and going up & down the Greater Tsingy at Bermahara. Wonderful, amazing experience, thanks to our guide Gervo & our driver Jilio👍 for ensuring our safety too.

My colleague (20 years old) and I (25 years old) booked our trip to Madagascar through "Soul of Madagascar". Our guide Mickael and our driver Ambinintsoa met us at the airport on time and very warmly. They also helped us with our luggage straight away. The tour was perfectly planned from start to finish and ran smoothly. Ambinintsoa was the best driver you could wish for in Madagascar, and our tour guide Mickael was also excellent. He always fulfilled our wishes and even helped me when I fell ill on the tour. I don't take that for granted at all. Mickael's knowledge and language skills are also excellent. He is a very great person. We had a lot of fun together and I'm sad that the trip ended so quickly. Definitely my top destination! I can only recommend Soul of Madagascar!

5/5



We had an amazing 11-day trip in Madagascar with Soul of Madagascar Tours, exploring both the East and West of this beautiful country. Everything was well-organized, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Our guides, Joushia and Nandrianina, were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made every part of the journey enjoyable and informative. A special thanks also to Rivo, our driver, who was not only professional and skilled but also made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip.

The car was very comfortable, which made the long drives pleasant and relaxing. Every day was filled with unforgettable sights and experiences from lush rainforests to breathtaking landscapes and unique wildlife.

We were so happy with our trip and truly grateful for the warmth and care we received. Thank you, Soul of Madagascar Tours, for making this a trip of a lifetime!

Highly recommended!

A wonderful and well organised journey
5/5

We chose SOTM to plan our 3-week trip because the correspondence with Theresia was very professional and helpful. She incorporated our ideas into a super-organised tour, including all entrance fees, guides, domestic flights etc.. It was particularly important for us that she always responded very quickly and we had the feeling that we had a reliable local partner. The fact that we had to bring the outstanding balance (a few thousand euros) in cash, which was then collected by a member of staff at the hotel, was a little strange at first. But this is the normal procedure, as there always seem to be problems at the Bank of Madagascar with transfers of this amount. We had 3 very enjoyable and exciting weeks with the incredibly skilful driver André, who was able to fix some problems with the car on his own. One thing in advance: the road conditions in Madagascar ALWAYS cause damage to the car, even with our off-road jeep. Eric, our guide, spoke very good English and told us a lot about Madagascar's culture and history. He and the other guides in the parks are also well trained in the flora and fauna, so you can learn a lot of new things on this trip (even as a biologist). Thanks to the vast experience of our 2 guides, the tour was very well organised, as they knew exactly when to set off in the morning in order to reach the next destination before nightfall. The selected hotels were mostly of a standard that you would accept in Central Europe without complaint (see photos). There were only 2 areas that were very remote and where there was only one hotel, you just have to take that - running water is not always available in one of the poorest countries in the world.
However, the meals were safe in ALL the hotels and we had no health problems. All in all, we were pleasantly surprised by the level of organisation (which is often not so good in Europe either) and can therefore recommend SOMT without reservation. It was a wonderful experience.
