Lemurs in a Madagascar reserve

Wildlife tours and treks in Madagascar

Four ways to meet Madagascar. Each can be a trip of its own or a thread running through one of our journeys. Tell us which one pulls at you and we'll build the itinerary around it.

Lemur Safari

Step into the heart of Madagascar and witness a world found nowhere else on Earth. Comfortable eco-lodges, expert local guides, and a route built around the species you most want to see: playful ring-tails, dancing sifakas, or the rare aye-aye.

Bird Watching

About 300 bird species, over 100 of them found nowhere else on Earth, four entirely endemic families. From the Madagascar paradise flycatcher to the elusive ground rollers and the vangas, on a private trip with ornithologist guides.

Reptiles & Insects

Well over 400 reptile species, most of them found nowhere else. Panther chameleons shifting colour, leaf-tailed geckos that vanish into bark, mantises and stick insects. Best from November to March, when the forests come alive.

Trekking in the Madagascar highlands

Trekking & Hiking

Pic Boby in Andringitra, the canyons of Isalo, the sharp maze of Tsingy de Bemaraha and the remote Makay Massif. The best way to experience Madagascar is on foot. The dry season, May to October, is the time to do it.
