Harilala provided a wonderful experience to enjoy the national parks and preserves!
5/5

Harilala was wonderful to work with; responsive and clear in his communication. He had excellent staff driving me safely and guiding me in the national parks and preserves. I was a solo traveler!
I contracted his company based on the review of coworkers and I was not disappointed! He even designed my trip with a one week interruption for a medical mission trip I was on. During the medical mission I had to postpone resuming my tour because one day and he totally understood!
I saw a lot of animals and plants unique to Madagascar. My guides were not afraid to answer my questions so I could understand the culture and economy of Madagascar.

An individually tailored adventure
5/5

From the start Harilala was a great contact, who created an itinerary that matched our wishes and needs.
Communication is quick and easy via email and WhatsApp and in very good English.
Overall we would absolutely recommend this local tour operator and we're grateful for their support even after the tour.

We booked a 2 week tour of wildlife and birding and saw lots of the endemic species, considering the season of course. Distances feel longer than they are due to road conditions, so take that into consideration.

In our experience it really isn't an issue to take things like physical ability, dietary requirements etc into consideration, as they adjust the itinerary to that.

We had Hoby and Des as our guide and driver and very much enjoyed the fun and knowledgeable team.

An exceptional and well-organized tour with "Madagascar Natural Tour." Stunning locations and affordable prices. Excellent guides, fluent in English, with a special mention for our favorite, Anatoli. The transfers were perfectly timed and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience in wild Madagascar
5/5

We had an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable experience with Madagascar Natural Tours.

From the very beginning, everything was well organised and we always felt well looked after by Harilala. He and our guides were incredibly kind, knowledgeable and helpful, and they were always available to answer our questions and make sure we were comfortable throughout the journey.

The hotels were very nice, the food was good, and the itinerary allowed us to experience the incredible variety of Madagascar. The wildlife and landscapes were truly amazing, and we had many unforgettable moments during the trip. Seeing the unique animals and beautiful scenery of Madagascar was a fantastic experience that we will remember for a very long time.

We would especially like to thank again our guides and drivers for their professionalism, kindness and flexibility. They contributed enormously to making our journey so enjoyable.

Overall, we were extremely happy with Madagascar Natural Tours and would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Madagascar. It was a beautiful and memorable adventure, and we are very grateful for the experience!

Excellent
5/5

My partner and I booked an extensive tour of the North of Madagascar with Madagascar Natural Tours. We informed Harilala of where we wished to go and what we wished to see and he planned everything perfectly. In addition, he allocated us an incredibly knowledgeable guide named Jocelyn. The man is a treasure trove of knowledge . With Jocelyn we were accompanied by a driver named Felix who drove incredibly carefully and was also wonderful company. One of the best parts of our tour was the flexibility afforded to us. If we wished to make a change to our plans, Harilala happily accommodated us. I highly recommend Madagascar Natural Tours ! We will be returning and we will book once more with Harilala and the team of Madagascar Natural Tours.

An unforgettable 20-days Madagascar adventure with truly outstanding guides.
5/5

Madagascar Natural Tours is an agency I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants a personal, well-organized and unforgettable experience in Madagascar.

From the very beginning until the end of our journey, we felt well taken care of. Communication before the trip was clear, we received the itinerary in advance, and it was possible to adjust the program according to our wishes. Whenever there was any small imperfection, the team always tried to solve it immediately, which we really appreciated. Harilala also customized the itinerary perfectly around our international flights, which made the whole journey much smoother and stress-free.

We had a 20-day itinerary ending on ĂŽle aux Nattes, and it was truly amazing. Madagascar is a very special country, and thanks to Madagascar Natural Tours we were able to see so many beautiful places in a comfortable and efficient way. Harilala arranged the domestic flights, transfers, accommodation and activities very well, which allowed us to experience a lot without feeling that the trip was too complicated.

This journey was also personally very important for us, because I used this trip to propose to my girlfriend. Together with Harilala, we discussed the place and timing in advance, and the rest I arranged once we were there. It made the whole experience even more unforgettable.

I would especially like to thank and highlight our guides, Elias and Hoby. They were absolutely outstanding — professional, kind, friendly and genuinely good people. They made the trip even more special, and if we ever return to Madagascar, I would specifically ask for them again. In my opinion, they are among the very best in their field.

The accommodation throughout the trip was of good quality, and the itinerary offered a great balance of wildlife, landscapes, adventure and relaxation. The only small point I would mention is that some of the vehicles, especially the vans we used at times, were not the most comfortable for Madagascar’s roads. On these rough roads, I would have appreciated using a off-road 4x4 vehicle more often, like the one we had on the way to Tsingy.

Overall, we look back on this journey as one of the best holidays of our lives. Madagascar Natural Tours gave us an individual, beautifully organized and memorable experience, and I would recommend them with a clear conscience to anyone planning a trip to Madagascar.

10/10 — thank you for an unforgettable adventure.

Excellent tour, great experience. Bravo !
5/5

We spent eight gorgeous full days tour in the North Madagascar and we had an excellent experience with Harilala jet Madagascar Natural tours. We didn't know him before and we chose just searching on the internet, but we wanted a local operator and we trusted it and all has been great! First of all we have booked asking for personal trip with accommodations, car and special program, and good price. Everything has been satisfied and much more. The wonderful guide as well as Jocelyn has been with us for all the time. Professional and very patient, clever and skilled: a nice person, we hope we'll meet him again. We will definitely return in Madagascar to see other places, to know and learn more of this wonderful country. Surely we' ll call Harilala tours again. Thank you for your work and availability.
