Amazing hospitality, leading to an unforgettable experience.
From the very start, communication from Lova was impeccable. She clearly communicated the 3-day itinerary to Andasibe, the cost breakdown, and the pickup details. She was even kind enough to set everything up and only receive payment during pickup time, showing respect and trust. At pickup, I learned that Zo (her business partner and husband) will be joining us as well, and having two kind and helpful guides was more than I could have asked for! We made one park stop on the way, and another stop for lunch. Once we got to the hotel in Andasibe, we had a night walk. The next day was two more parks, and then the last day on the way back, another one. I was able to see 9 species of lemurs and several reptiles/critters! In the last park, the lemurs were fearless and would jump on your shoulders!
Lova and Zo were always on time, incredibly reliable, and made adjustments any time I made requests. For example, when I mentioned I didn't quite find the hotel restaurant menu that interesting, they were happy to take me to the village for dinner. Every time we were together, we had engaging conversations, and I learned a lot about local customs and cultures. At 550 Euros, it's good value for a trip that would be very tricky to navigate as a first time tourist. I highly recommend this company, and I have every bit of confidence that they would continue to do an amazing job!

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!
