The best tour operator ever!
We had an absolutely unforgettable 17-day trip around Madagascar, and we truly feel that we got to experience all the very best that the country has to offer!
A huge, huge thank you to Lova and Zou for creating such an incredible itinerary, which included everything we wanted and even more. The whole trip was so incredibly well planned, making sure we got the very best of both nature and culture.
We felt so well taken care of throughout the entire trip. We truly felt seen and understood when it came to what we wanted, and everything was adapted to our wishes. We always felt that we were getting the absolute best out of every single day.
Lova and Zou are incredibly knowledgeable and answered all the thousands of questions we had about absolutely everything. We really appreciated all the wonderful conversations we had, as well as all the little things they did along the way. For example, they stopped several times so that we could meet and interact with local people. These encounters were not originally part of the plan, but our amazing guides arranged them anyway because they wanted us to have the absolute best experience possible.
Honestly, we could not have asked for anything better. The whole trip was far beyond our expectations. We would recommend I Travel 2 Madagascar to absolutely anyone. Lova and Zou were so incredibly service-minded and made sure we had the best trip we have ever had. Thank you so, so much for an absolutely amazing experience. We honestly cannot put into words how happy and satisfied we are!

Best way to discover Madagascar and its people
I had an absolutely wonderful experience touring Madagascar for nearly 20 days. It is an incredible country, with breathtaking landscapes, unique wildlife, fascinating culture, and warm, welcoming people.
Some of the absolute highlights of the trip were Tsingy de Bemaraha, the Avenue of the Baobabs, Isalo National Park, and Ranomafana National Park. Each destination was completely different and offered something special, from the spectacular limestone formations of Tsingy to the iconic baobabs, the dramatic landscapes of Isalo, and the incredible biodiversity of Ranomafana.
A big thank you goes to I Travel 2 Madagascar & Lova, who organised the tour and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. I particularly appreciate their effort to invest in the future of tourism in Madagascar through their training of local guides and tourism education, including English-language training. It is great to see a company not only providing tours but also helping young Malagasy people develop professional skills and opportunities within the tourism industry.
I was accompanied by several guides during the trip — Rova, Fano, Mandresy, and Keidy. They are all junior guides, but they did a fantastic job. They were friendly, enthusiastic, helpful, and eager to share their knowledge and love for Madagascar. Their professionalism and positive attitude made a real difference throughout the journey.
I think the combination of incredible destinations, passionate local guides, and a company that is actively investing in the next generation of Malagasy tourism professionals made this a truly memorable trip.
Thank you to I Travel 2 Madagascar, Lova, Rova, Fano, Mandresy, and Keidy for an amazing experience. I would happily recommend them to anyone wanting to discover Madagascar!

Personalized attention on private tour
I did a 2 week private tour through I Travel 2 Madagascar, with four different locations: Antananarivo, Morodava, Nosy Be and Andisabe. Lova was in touch with me regularly before the tour and during it. She and Zo met me and gave me a lot of information about the Malagasy culture when I first got there. They made sure I made it through the airports and to each connection; every driver was on time and shepherded me through the airport process (which is a big deal in Antananarivo). I really enjoyed the company of my guides and drivers--Parson, the driver in Andisabe had an incredible wealth of information, and I really enjoyed Keidy's company and guidance. Lova was also able to arrange an add-on when my daughter was able to join me for the last few days of my tour. What made this work for me was the personalized attention. I have mobility issues, and Lova assured me that this would not be a problem. What kept it from being a problem was that she connected with each tour operator--these are separate from her company--and each of her guides to be aware of my needs. Some of the trails were difficult for me, and I could not have done them on my own, but there was always a guide, and sometimes two, helping me stay on my feet. We chased lemurs through the forest, and I didn't fall! When I transferred on and off boats, the crew was always making special arrangements for me, including a private guide when I needed help. Even on the easier paths, my guide was always right there to help if I needed it. The result was that I saw many amazing things--lemurs, fossa, chameleons, sea turtles--and I felt safe doing so. I would certainly use this tour company again. I feel like I can do adventurous travel even with my physical limitations because Lova and her guides made it possible.

Discover Madagascar with the locals
The first time we met Lova was during a walking tour in Antananarivo. She was our guide and showed us all the highlights of the city. During the tour she explained is a lot about the country, the culture, the history and the local traditions. But not only that; she also connected us to local people. Lova is an English teacher and a group of her students joined us during the tour. This was a great experience, in this way we met a whole group of lovely people on our first day in Madagascar! The next day, we were invited to a party at Lova's place. Again, we had a really great time, we chatted and danced the whole afternoon, amazing how we were welcomed in Madagascar this way!
Later, we went on a 5 day trip with Lova and the family. We travelled from Antananarivo to Ile st Marie. The trip was well organized. We spent a lot of time in the car together where we had good conversations, played nice music and did sing some songs. We visited multiple parcs, saw a lot of beautiful wildlife (lemurs, chameleons, snakes, geckos etc).
At the end of the trip we had some bad luck; our boat was cancelled. So, we had to improvise to find a solution on how to reach Ile st Marie. The team did everything they could to find the best solution and a good and safe trip for us to the island!

The perfect mix of wildlife, culture and adventure in Madagascar with a great local team
I really enjoyed a jam packed 3 day tour with Lova & Zo from Antanarivo to Andasibe and back! The landscapes were so beautiful, with a nice little stop to try a local breakfast on the first day. The day & night safaris, the local guides and the animal spotting (lots of lemurs, reptiles, etc) was more than I ever expected 😁. I learned a lot about Malagasy culture in such a short time. Definitely recommend!

Greatest tour and wonderful malagasy experience
Lova was super nice and took care of us from the very beginning until the end of the tour. Everything she planned for us was amazing, we saw a lot of different species of lemur and she worked hard so that we could see the ones we really wanted to. The trip to the northern islands was super beautiful, like a dream. All the hotels we were in were fabulous! Lova and Zo explained us many interesting things about Madagascar, it was a tour where we have learnt a lot about Malagasy culture. We would totally recommend this tour to everyone. It has been the best tour that we have ever done. Thanks a lot to Lova and Zo for this experience!

Amazing 10-day solo tour :)
I did a 10-day tour with I Travel 2 Madagascar and loved every bit of it! Being a student my budget was fixed, but they made sure everything (even flight!) was included and there were no surprises.
The travel by car was very comfortable and went smoothly (as far as the streets of Madagascar allow it :D ) I had a great experience, everything was planned out perfectly while still allowing some flexibility and this was very comfortable.
Because it was low season I had to travel alone, but they made sure I always felt safe and never lonely! Everyone was very respectful, but also fun and we had great times together.
I could tell Zo has lots of experience as a tour guide and he explained lots of interesting flora & fauna, but also culture and life in general in Madagascar. He made sure I didn't miss anything! The local guides were also very nice and informative.
All of the hotels were clean and comfortable, some more luxurious than others but all great and they had everything I needed!
Overall Lova and Zo made me feel very welcomed, well taken care of and I could not have imagined a better trip. They are amazing and honest people and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

A local agency with a very professional and motivated team.
We had a great tour and time with Lova and her team. We are last minute people, however organizing the tour was very easy as Lova was extremely reactive on WhatsApp and remained always very flexible to adapt to our wishes and taste. Beyond incredible lemurs and baobabs, Lova also provided a lot of insights and tips into Malagasy culture and traditions, while making sure everything worked out as planned and always on time. Roads in the country are complicated, but the slow pace gives you time to enjoy its spectacular landscapes. Travelling in Madagascar requires you to remain open minded, flexible and relaxed, let time and plans just flow. And I Travel 2 Madagascar will make sure you enjoy its people and nature to the fullest. Thanks Lova for making it so easy and enjoyable for us.
