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.

Accommodating and very knowledgeable
5/5

What a special time, place and country. As I reflect on the past few weeks I am reminded that the world is such a beautiful and big place and there is so much to be seen. Harilala, Lucas, Des and all those we met here have been special. This country has a special place in my heart. Its beauty, diversity and culture is something that can’t be matched. I will cherish these memories forever and always think of how I felt safe, loved and respected here. Let this be my mantra going forward “never let money stop you from doing something special”.

Amazing tour!
5/5

I just finished the 17-DAY MADAGASCAR NORTH & SOUTH WILDLIFE & CULTURE EXPLORATION tour with Madagascar Natural Tours. Thanks to Harilala, Lucas and all of our other drivers and guides along the way, I had an amazing and memorable experience. Harilala was very helpful and accommodating from the start. He was able to put together an itinerary that was everything I wanted and more. He is very knowledgeable, organized, trustworthy and he communicated well from the very beginning. He even organized a stay for us and drove us to the airport on departure even though our 17 day tour was over. Lucas was also an amazing guide. He made sure everything went smoothly along the way and went out of his way to make our tour fun and memorable. I can’t imagine how the tour would be without him. The roads in Madagascar were rough and bumpy but we had a great driver that got us around safely. Madagascar Natural Tours gave me peace of mind, adventure, new experiences and memories that I will keep forever. Thank you 🙏🏼


I just finished the 17-DAY MADAGASCAR NORTH & SOUTH WILDLIFE & CULTURE EXPLORATION tour with Madagascar Natural Tours.

Thanks to Harilala, Lucas, and all of our other incredible drivers and guides along the way, I had an absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience in Madagascar. From start to finish, everything was handled with care, professionalism, and a genuine desire to make our trip special.

Harilala was incredibly helpful and accommodating from the very beginning. He worked closely with us to create an itinerary that included everything I wanted—and more. It was clear right away how knowledgeable and passionate he is about his country. His organization, trustworthiness, and good communication gave me confidence and peace of mind before we even arrived. Even after our 17-day tour officially ended, he kindly arranged accommodations for us and personally drove us to the airport. That level of dedication and thoughtfulness was truly above and beyond.

Lucas was also a fantastic guide. He made sure everything went smoothly along the way and went out of his way to make our time fun and memorable. He was always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and happy. I can’t imagine what the experience would have been like without him.

Despite the rough and bumpy roads in Madagascar, we always felt safe thanks to our skilled and cautious drivers. Every part of the journey—from parks and wildlife encounters to cultural experiences and local food—was well thought-out and executed with care.

Madagascar Natural Tours gave me everything I was hoping for: peace of mind, a real sense of adventure, new experiences, and memories I’ll carry with me forever.

A very enjoyable holiday made possible by Madagascar Natural Tours
5/5

We chose Madagascar Natural Tours for our 18 day trip
From start to end , we had a great time , we felt very at ease and taken care of.
I wouldn't say our trip was relaxing , we chose quite a heavy itinerary but the hotels chosen for us were superb!
The high light for us was the Island of Sainte Marie - don't miss this !

Hard working, insightful, friendly and responsive!
5/5

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!

Great Tour Despite a few Hicoughs
4/5

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
5/5

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!
