Great tour to authentic Madagascar

We took this tour without knowing many details of it yet it was great experience. We travel with a 2 years old baby and Teo made us feel confident and comfortable all the time. He was very kind with our child that he still remembers him :). It was accommodations included and food from the places was just great and affordable.

FANTASTIC TRIP AND TEAM

We had a wonderful team - thanks Naina! Our experienced driver Lolo (= Biby rakaka [Virakaka] - powerful driver) was essential on this roads!!! Our english speaking guide Theo found all chameleons on the way and our skilled mechanic, was important to find the best way! They all made our tour to Great Tsingy possible - through mudholes and rivers, as we were travelling shortly after the rainy season (mid April). THANKS TO ALL FOR THIS WONDERFUL TRIP AND FOR MAKING THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL PEOPLE POSSIBLE!

Five Star Tsingy & Kirindy Forest Tour

We had an unforgettable trip to the Tsingy and Kirindy Forest, and we can't recommend this tour company enough—especially our driver Haja and guide Theo. Haja was an incredibly safe and reliable driver, especially with the bumpy roads. Theo was an exceptional guide - incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Madagascar's unique wildlife, as well as sharing insights into Malagasy culture. He answered every question we had with enthusiasm and depth.

Adventure Awaits

Four day Tsingy Tour: Two Americans in their 30s from Oregon. 100% Adventure! Alfred, our tour guide and Tery, our driver were incredible. Whether you're interested in plants, animals, Malagasy language, history, food or just everyday life, Alfred has the information. Alfred's English is excellent and we learned many Malagasy words/phrases. It was neat to see all the villages and the smiling faces of all the locals. The kids were silly and shy.
