8 extraordinary days with 261 Exp!
5/5

I spent eight days exploring the fabulous islands of Madagascar with the agency 261 Exp.

Everything was very well organized beforehand. The team is attentive and adapts to your preferences. Once the itinerary is confirmed, a detailed schedule is sent to you with all the details, suggested excursions, timings, and activity options.
For accommodations, the team provides recommendations but also allows you to choose your own. They take care of the bookings for you. A lot is also done during the trip, but the team remains available, flexible, and incredibly responsive; things happen almost without you even realizing it. As for transportation, a fantastic Land Cruiser 4x4 had been reserved, which proved very useful during my stay.

I was fortunate to have a wonderful guide throughout those eight days. Traveling solo, Fano did everything he could to ensure I had a pleasant stay in Madagascar. Thanks to their local knowledge and the agency's organizational skills, I had a smooth and safe trip, filled with laughter but also serious moments. I was able to discover many typical aspects of Madagascar.

Besides the magnificent landscapes, Fano shared many cultural anecdotes, advised me on local cuisine, and told me about traditions as well as the local flora and fauna (something I'm passionate about). When needed, we could stop along the way so I could take photos or admire the scenery.

What I appreciated most was the team's professionalism and their local knowledge. It was thanks to this that, during our visits to the national parks in particular, I was accompanied by excellent local guides!

A special thank you to Fano, who even after our week together, checked in on me and gave me advice as I continued my trip to Madagascar on my own. Few guides take such good care of their clients, and it's thanks to him that I had an extraordinary week!

A huge thank you to Roland, our guide in Isalo National Park! As a ranger myself, I wasn't expecting such a high level of expertise! This half-day was magical; I saw species that few tourists ever see or encounter. He is incredibly kind and shares his passion like no one else!

I highly recommend this agency if you want to discover Madagascar with complete peace of mind. Whether you're traveling with family, solo, or with friends, go for it without hesitation!
