Why we love Madagascar
Off the Grid Thrills

Culture with a dash of Spice
From hopping into a “taxi-brousse” to learning the lively local customs, Madagascar’s Malagasy people welcome you with open arms. Sprinkle in a Malagasy phrase or two, and you’ll be greeted like family. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a cultural embrace.
Vitamin Sea in Nosy Be
Paradise found! Nosy Be is Madagascar’s answer to the ultimate beach getaway. Think crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and sun-kissed days for divers, snorkelers, and beach bums alike. Pack your sunscreen—it’s impossible to leave without a tan and a smile.
Our Madagascar highlights
Madagascar’s vibrant capital, Antananarivo—affectionately known as Tana—is the heartbeat of the island, a bustling city where history, culture, and nature converge. Its name, meaning “city of thousands,” reflects the rich tapestry of wooden houses, royal tombs, and a historic palace, all framed by jacaranda tree-lined streets. As the gateway to all Madagascar adventures, Tana invites visitors with warm hospitality and charming accommodations.
From the bustling capital, head north to Nosy Be, an island paradise that promises the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Whether you’re diving into its crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, snorkelling along its vibrant reefs, or simply lounging on its endless beaches, Nosy Be is a slice of heaven. For those thirsty for adventure, follow inland trails that wind through lush landscapes—it’s the perfect spot to unwind or explore for at least three days.
Venture just a few hours east of Tana, and you’ll arrive at Andasibe, a must-see for wildlife enthusiasts. This enchanting area is best known for its incredible lemur sightings, particularly in Parc National Mantadia. In this pristine rainforest, local guides will introduce you to Madagascar’s unique flora and fauna.
A journey to Tsingy de Bemaraha is nothing short of otherworldly. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features dramatic, jagged limestone formations, rope bridges, and hidden caves, making it a haven for nature lovers and adventurers alike. The surreal landscape is perfect for hiking, photography, and discovering Madagascar’s geological marvels.
For an experience unlike any other, Parc National Isalo in the southwest offers breathtaking gorges, rock formations, and natural pools, along with a variety of exciting activities like mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking with the help of cable guides. This park is not only visually stunning but also one of the best places in Madagascar to spot lemurs, adding a touch of wildlife magic to the surreal scenery.
For those seeking more off-the-beaten-path adventures, Parc National Marojejy in the northeast offers a rich jungle experience, complete with dense rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and panoramic views from the hiking trails. It’s a haven for nature lovers and hikers looking to experience Madagascar’s wild heart.
In the southeast, Fort Dauphin (also known as Taolagnaro) holds the title of Madagascar’s first French settlement, dating back to the 16th century. This coastal town offers a fascinating mix of history, culture, and natural beauty, with its stunning beaches and historic port offering a glimpse into the island’s colonial past.
