Your most asked questions

Do I need a visa for Madagascar?

Most travellers need a tourist visa. You can apply online before you travel or get one on arrival. See our visa and formalities page for the full details and current fees.

Are your tours private, or will I be grouped with other travellers?

Every trip is private. You won't be combined with another booking, and the same driver and guide stay with you for the whole road journey; on the days in Antananarivo before or after a domestic flight, a local guide looks after you; on island tours, a local guide and driver look after you in each region.

What's included in the price?

Your driver, guide, accommodation with breakfast, domestic flights where the itinerary includes them, national park fees, and all the excursions listed in your itinerary. Not included: international flights, other meals, visa fees, travel insurance, and personal spending.
