Great choice!
Booking our tour in Madagascar with Soul of Madagascar was a great experience.
First of all, a shout out to Theresia. She answered all our emails promptly and was able to change the itinerary per our requests both beforehand and more last minute (as one of our flighta got cancelled). The itinerary she put together was great, with the highlights being Tsingy, Isalo and Ranamofana.
Secondly, we had great guides. Michael and driver Njato were young and enthusiastic. They were great, easy-going guys who loved showing us their native country. We had a blast. They told us so much more than a standard script. They were never invading our privacy (something we have felt in the past with other intensive, private tours).
Because we took a flight to Morondava, for four days we had the pleasure to travel with two different men: Gervo and driver Allen. These men were basically the older counterparts of our other guides which made this very fun. These people too were enthusiastic and friendly and made our tour better.
Then a shout out to some of the local guides, especially Patrick and Roxi, who were very knowledgeable about the (geographical) features of Madagascar and its wildlife. We also thought our local Tsingy guide should get a mention but we forgot his name.
Overall, the rooms were fine or great. Never really disappointing and sometimes exceeding expectations. We didn't have dinner included (some tours do give you the option to do that) but we were glad in the end because now we could just choose from the whole menu instead of a set menu. And Madagascar is very cheap, so it might be cheaper to choose your own food anyway instead of having it included.
In the end, locationwise it doesn't really matter which tour operator you book with, but Soul of Madagascar has top grade guides, fast response times, good prices and I promise you will have a good time choosing them to book your trip in Madagascar.
Well organised tour for our honeymoon:)
My partner and I highly recommend Soul of Madagascar. From the very beginning to the end of our trip, Theresia was very helpful and responsive to all our questions and requests during the planning process. We had to change our travel dates several times while requesting quotations, and she was always patient and accommodating.
Joushia was our guide for the first nine days of the tour, and he was exceptionally considerate and knowledgeable. He shared lots of information about Madagascar and introduced us to various local foods and dishes. We mentioned that we wanted to try mofogasy, and he thoughtfully remembered and surprised us by bringing freshly made, warm mofogasy for us to enjoy during sunrise at the baobabs. It was such a memorable experience. The logistics throughout the trip were also very well arranged. He communicated the daily itinerary clearly, and on days with lighter schedules and shorter travel times, he made sure we had enough time to relax and fully enjoy the surroundings. By the end of the trip, Joushia felt more like a friend of us than a guide! We would definitely recommend Joushia to other travellers.
Mahefa was our guide for the last two days, he was also helpful and introduced all local practices during the city tour. He also found the Koba, a local street food, for us to try. It tastes good~
This has truly been a wonderful honeymoon (a great adventure) for both of us!!
Once in a Lifetime
Soul of Madagascar planned the perfect trip for us, from the start Theresa answered promptly, created an itinerary where we could fit everything in we wanted to in 9 days and still have time to relax. Our guide Mamisoa in Kirindy could not have been kinder. She showed us Ave of Baobabs and made sure we got perfect sunset pictures. She let us spend extra time in Kirinidy Forest when the lemurs took an unexpected liking to us and were coming very close for pictures. In the west our guide Tahiry was a master at his job. He navigated our time constraints with our flights brilliantly, making sure we saw everything we wanted including lemur island, the indri call in the National park, and even made a surprise stop where we could see chameleons because he heard me say I loved them. He showed us the best places for shopping to get authentic vanilla and honey. We would not have had the same experience without Mamisoa and Tahiry! Our last stop was Nosy Be, filled with a pristine beaches, more lemurs, and a beautiful snorkeling spot. Our hotel here was our favorite, with incredible views, two pools and a delicious restaurant. Theresa was also great allowing us to fit in a last minute trip to lemur land in Nosy Be. Would 100% recommend this agency for all your Madagascar needs!

Exceptional from start to finish—tailor-made journeys that showcase the very best of Madagascar.
From the moment I first reached out almost a year ago to the day our tour finished, Soul of Madagascar made the entire experience seamless. The professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail throughout the planning process gave us confidence from the very beginning. They took the time to understand what we wanted from the trip and worked with us to create an itinerary that perfectly suited our interests, rather than simply offering a standard package.
Madagascar is unlike anywhere else we've travelled. It isn't a destination for luxury or convenience, it's a place of extraordinary wildlife, dramatic landscapes and genuinely warm people. If you're looking for an authentic adventure, this is it.
A special thank you to our guide and driver, who were outstanding. They went above and beyond every single day, sharing their knowledge, adapting to our interests and, most importantly, making us feel completely safe throughout the journey.
Thank you to everyone at Soul of Madagascar for creating a trip we'll remember for the rest of our lives. The memories we've made, the places we've seen and the people we've met are something we'll never forget.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Excellent service and quick response
We reached out Theresia, the owner of Soul of Madagascar, one year ago for preparing our trip to Africa in this year. Theresia gave me very quick response with beautiful and detailed proposal. We finally chose Soul of Madagascar as our tour agency.
Theresia was very responsible and thoughtful. She checked details of our itinerary with us before our arrival, and followed up our feedback for our whole trip. We really appreciate all her help.
Michael, our multi-days guide was very professional and experienced.
Manua, our young driver, was very friendly.
We had a great time in Madagascar.
We highly recommend Soul of Madagascar as tour agency and we will entrust them again if we come back to Madagascar in the future.

Great Lemur Viewing Trip
Planning a trip to Madagascar can be daunting, but Theresia, our guide Michael, and driver, Ambinintsoa, provided a level of attentiveness that truly stands out. Having traveled to over 50 countries, I was incredibly impressed by their care.
Before we arrived, Theresia was highly responsive, which helped ease the stress of planning. Once on the ground, Ambinintsoa did everything he could to make the journey smooth.
Madagascar's road conditions are famously brutal, but he navigated the rough terrain carefully and always tried to park as close as possible to our stops to maximize our comfort.
Our guide, Michael, is excellent at what he does. He genuinely loves and respects local wildlife. We saw 13 different types of lemurs. He proactively coordinated with park rangers to track animals, communicated what we had already seen and what would be interesting to spot next and worked with the rangers to keep the more dominant species occupied so the shyer species could come closer. He also handles logistics well. When an unrelated tourist group delayed our boat, Michael stepped in to resolve the situation and get us moving.
Michael and Ambinintsoa also pay attention to small, personal details. When we mentioned wanting to try local lychees, which were out of season, they managed to treat us with fresh rambutan which were delicious.
The team also handles unexpected issues very professionally. On our final day, Ambinintsoa was called away to assist with a broken-down company vehicle. Even while managing that operational headache, Michael and Ambinintsoa made sure to arrange a substitute private airport transfer for us. They are a deeply dedicated team that genuinely cares about your experience. I can't recommend them enough!

Souls of Madagascar made our Madagascar trip unforgettable and completely stress free.
I spent my Christmas holidays in Madagascar and booked my trip with Souls of Madagascar, and I’m so glad I did. Everything was incredibly well organized, from the airport pick up to the transfers, drivers, tour guides, and accommodations. I visited Antananarivo, Andasibe, Morondava, and Kirindy, and every part of the journey felt safe and memorable.
A very special thanks goes to Theresia, who was always accommodating and easy to communicate with. Before deciding, I reached out to more than five tour companies, and Theresia stood out by a long mile. Her professionalism and kindness truly made a difference.
Madagascar is a country full of treasures and untapped potential, and Souls of Madagascar helped me experience it in the best possible way. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip here. Thank you for helping us create such unforgettable memories 🥰

Choose Soul of Madagascar for an excellent tour
I booked our tour with Soul of Madagascar for the four of us. Theresia was my contact and organized everything. She was so efficient, always getting back to me quickly and providing excellent and thoughtful answers and recommendations, customizing our trip to fit what we were looking for. It made planning for our 14-day tour easy.
Our guide Joushia is my all-time favorite tour guide. He loves nature and culture and was always there to explain and answer our questions. He watched out for anything we needed. And BTW his English is perfect and we hope to see him in the States soon 😄. Our driver Ambinintsoa has a difficult job navigating city traffic and potholed roads, but he’s a careful driver that makes you feel safe on the road.
The tour included hikes in national parks, lemurs and more lemurs, Baobabs, an unforgettable 3 day 2-night river trip with tent camping on the Tsiribihina (highly recommended), a four star restaurant that you need a ferry to get to, and a day trip with a conservation project village leader in the mangroves on the west coast. Our accommodations were all nice with excellent meals — we took the half board plan.
Overall I was really impressed with Madagascar. Many more people speak English more than I expected and they are wonderful people. The food was better I than expected too. Having traveled in 54 countries, I’m very happy to recommend this tour operator and staff— they are topnotch and live up to their name; will help you glimpse the “soul of Madagascar.”
