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.

My second amazing G Adventures tour. I thought it would be hard to top the staff in Nepal, but Adolf and the G team in Tanzania were just as amazing. You can definitely tell the porters and staff are happier at G than some of the other groups. Overall well done, well executed, and friendly/caring staff. The food was also amazing, considering it was prepared fresh on the mountain!

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.

Our Marangu Climbing Itinerary will bring you beautiful views and each day of walking progresses through a different climate zone, adding considerably to the interest of the trek. The real highlight is the walk from Gillman’s point along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak, passing close to the spectacular glaciers and ice cliffs that occupy most of the summit area. The views as the sun rises behind Mawenzi on a clear morning are absolutely magnificent – The Rift Valley, Mt. Meru and the Masai Steppes stand out from the endless plains, almost three vertical miles below. All guides have "Wilderness First Responder" and "Wilderness First Aid" certificates, along with over 7 years of experience in climbing. At the end of the tour, you will receive an International certificate for a successful ascent!

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!!
