Madagascar is a beautiful country and we were so lucky to see so much wildlife...including lots of endangered lemurs. The CEO and tour group made the entire experience. My only complaint is that it was too short, I could have stayed longer!

Our 15 day Explore trekking holiday through southern Madagascar was everything we hoped for and more. The insights into Malagasy life, culture, history, landscapes and wildlife we gained via the exceptional commentary and organizational skills of our guide Armand, made the trip so enjoyable. We ticked every box without effort seeing nearly every species of lemur, chameleon, gecko, snake and bird across many National Parks.
The 4 day hike in Andingitra National Park including the summit hike to Peak Boby was a highlight, and we all appreciated the information, assistance and singing from the local porters and guides. In addition, the group was invited into a local school and a local home which was totally unexpected but very special. Once at Ifaty, the Spiny Forest with its cacti and giant Baobabs was well worth the visit and we were grateful to our driver for getting us there in time for a tour and spectacular sunset.
Unfortunately our stay in Ifaty was cut short by a day due to flight unavailability but Explore arranged additional activities in Tana. Of course our ‘Super-guide’ Armand made the best of this change and allowed people some flexibility with what they chose to do.
The accommodations throughout the 15 days were well selected with a mix of styles and features but all with the necessary comforts and services (without going over the top). The staff were always very happy and friendly and willing to cater for any special requests of individuals or the group. The meals for us omnivores were ample and varied enough and always safely prepared. Access to more interesting vegetarian dishes was a little less more tricky but at the end of the day no one went hungry.
All-in-all our tour of Madagascar was amazing and its people were the most hardworking, ingenious and happy people ever, despite the ‘poverty’. Our guide Armand (and our skillful driver and navigator-of-potholes) plus all the other local guides and porters, allowed us to learn so much about this unique country. They all helped make our trip an experience we can’t wait to share and promote to others. Madagascar is certainly a ‘country less traveled’, particularly by Australians (we didn’t meet any Aussies in 4+ weeks). “Come on Aussie” - it’s right next door.
Thank you Armand - the best guide ever, and thank you Madagascar - may you preserve and expand your native forests and continue to protect your precious wildlife.
Veloma Madagascar!!

This was a trip I enjoyed very much. Besides seeing many natural wonders, we also got a lovely tour leader Hery. No matter when and where we needed his help, he was always there available. He tried his hardest to let’s get the best from this trip in every aspect in Madagascar. He far saw the problems and prepared solutions in advance for them to make our trip possibly smoother. To the end he prepared a list of animals, insects, and plants we encountered, to enhance our knowledge and memory about the trip. Our driver and his assistant were very professional as well. The bus was always clean. They did their best to drive us safely and efficiently under the bad road conditions. I deeply appreciate their efforts.

The group - Wonderful and fun
The trip - Mind blowing
Leah (CEO) - Marvellous.
Duncan (Driver) - Responsible and amazing
To be able to see that great migration which has been in my bucket list has been true amazing. Shout out to Leah and Duncan to make sure we saw a leopard on the last day, which we did. I had the best time and my next upcoming GAdventure trip has a high bar to match.

The trip exceeded all of my expectations. Thanks to our guide and driver we saw the Big 5 and a lot more. Their knowledge of the environment, animals and culture was outstanding and enhanced the trip at every turn.

My trip exceeded my expectation. the only negative was my flights, I had too long a layover both ways in Frankfurt. I would have paid an additional amount for a better travel itinerary.

This holiday delivered on every front. We saw so much wildlife and enjoyed the variety of parks and environments. We were very lucky in having a small group and this added to the enjoyment. The Tortilis camps are fabulous and on 2 occasions catered for only 4 guests eight 18 staff. The tents are wonderful and met all our needs. However our fellow guests did experience issues with hot water for their shower on several occasions but staff did endeavour to resolve the issue each time.
Hamse, our guide, was great and also helped us arrange an air balloon trip over the Serengeti which enhanced the overall trip.
