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.

Excellent and flexible organization with professional guides
We spent two perfectly organized weeks in Madagascar based on our previously given ideas. After a week of truly adventurous safari, we rested our fatigue on beautiful tropical islands. Our guides always looked after us, we felt safe despite the often wild and romantic environment. It was a fantastic adventure with professional help. The price/quality ratio of the accommodations was also appropriate. In short, we really enjoyed it and a thousand thanks to Soul of Madagascar Tours for everything!

Amazing, well organised tour with friendly and knowledgable guides
We had a fantastic experience with Soul of Madagascar Tours. To start with, Theresia organised a great itinerary, starting in Antananarivo, before heading East to Andasibe, Palmarium, and ending in Sainte-Marie, with plenty of stops and excursions along the way. She also helped us with recommending changes to hotels and adjusting dates prior to our arrival and was quick to reply, and provided us with lots of information before our arrival.
While here, we had an amazing time with guide Mahefa and driver Rivo who made us feel very safe and welcome during the whole trip. Mahefa was a lot of fun and was a great guide when we arrived at different locations, but also en route would talk about local customs and point out lots of things along the way, and during the trip they really felt like friends not just guides. They handled all the organisation while we were here making it very relaxed for us, and also with Theresia seamlessly sorted out a change in an overnight stay to get a different ferry over to Sainte Marie. At the end we had Manoa as both a driver and a guide in Antananarivo, and we enjoyed a lovely day of exploring the city and the local beer and rum.
I would absolutely recommend Soul of Madagascar tours!!

Reliable Madagascar-based tour operator with excellent service and communication.
We booked a 20-day - Discovery East - West-South tour with Soul of Madagascar and travelled with our 8 years old son. The communication with Theresia was seamless, she made sure the itinary was personalized according to our needs. Our guides were Michael and Tahiry and our driver Manoa, they were all well-prepared and knowledgeable and made our trip unforgettable. They even made sure I had a birthday cake on my big day :). I would be happy to travel with them again, we had the perfect trip!

Above expectations professionalism
We partnered with Soul of Madagascar for 22 days of adventure across the country with our family of four. A contact who had previously travelled with them and had a great experience recommended them to us, and we are incredibly grateful that he did.
Despite the challenges involved in coordinating and managing the logistics—especially because we wanted to visit non-touristic locations, or at least places that were less crowded—everything went incredibly smoothly. The whole team went above and beyond to support our needs and accommodate our wishes, helping us create a truly remarkable trip full of experiences and memories that will stay with us forever.
From the initial months of planning, defining the itinerary, and discussing our preferences and their recommendations, or dealing with flight changes till right through to the very last minute and our farewell at the airport, they were always there for us.
Theresia, Joushia, and the rest of the guides and drivers are amazing professionals, with a wealth of experience in the national parks, wildlife, food, routes, and local destinations. Most importantly, they always put our safety and wellbeing first, which gave us complete peace of mind throughout the trip.
We were particularly touched by some of the gestures that went far beyond what we expected. Theresia, the manager, once flew to the airport during a connecting flight from her hometown just to say hello and give us some presents. What an incredible gesture! And then there was the evening when Joushia and his colleague brought their guitars and improvised a concert while our teenage daughters sang along around a campfire, under an amazing sky full of stars. Those moments, among dozens of others, will stay with us forever.
I cannot recommend Soul of Madagascar highly enough. Thank you so much to the entire team for everything you did for us and for helping make this journey such an unforgettable experience.
A professional and caring tour operator that made our Madagascar trip truly special
We had an amazing experience with Soul of Madagascar Tours and are very grateful for the wonderful trip they organized for us.
From the very beginning, the communication was excellent. Everything was handled in a very professional, friendly and personal way, and we always felt that we were in good hands. The team was very flexible and understanding, especially when we had to make some spontaneous changes to our itinerary.
Throughout the trip, we had wonderful experiences with our drivers and local guides. Everyone was kind, reliable and knowledgeable, and we received lots of interesting information about the places, nature and culture we visited. The guides in particular really made an effort to make each experience special and memorable.
Although we unfortunately had to change our plans for Tsingy, this did not take away from the many amazing experiences we had throughout Madagascar. The country is absolutely incredible, and having such a friendly and dedicated team supporting us along the way made the journey even more enjoyable.
Overall, we are very happy with our trip and would absolutely recommend Soul of Madagascar Tours to anyone planning a trip to Madagascar. We felt very comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire journey.
Thank you so much for making our trip so special! We are already looking forward to coming back to Madagascar — hopefully next time for Tsingy and the east of the country! ❤️

Unforgettable experience!
The guides made the trip even better.
Gervo, our guide in the west, was extremely knowledgeable and really brought the Tsingy and baobabs to life. Joushia, who guided us in Tana and the east, was warm, friendly and simply excellent. Eddy in Nosy Be also looked after us well and showed us all the cool spots of the islands. The food was good throughout, and the accommodations were well chosen and comfortable everywhere we stayed.
Every transfer and connection ran smoothly, and communication was quick and clear. We'd recommend "Soul of Madagascar" team without hesitation to anyone dreaming of exploring Madagascar.
Theresia and team thank you for making it so special!

Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!
We had a wonderful experience with Soul of Madagascar. I was in contact with Theresia over many months after needing to amend our travel dates and she was always extremely helpful and quick to respond.
In Madagascar our guide was Antonio and our driver was Amby. They were both enthusiastic and took care of everything so we were able to relax. We felt very safe in their capable hands.
Our trip was short but we packed in so much. We were primarily interested in seeing lemurs and were lucky enough to see 10 species in just a few days. We stayed in Manjarano Lodge which I would highly recommend.
I hope to visit more of Madagascar in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Soul of Madagascar.

Beautifully planned and executed adventure
Theresia planned a wonderful 23 day adventure based on what we told her we were interested in. She booked our hotels and they were comfortable. Our driver Rivo was a wonderful driver in difficult conditions (lots of off road and terrible roads) and always felt safe. Erik our guide was knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. Both were fun and easy to be with. I feel the cost was a good value.
