Begin your Madagascar adventure at the legendary Avenue of the Baobabs in Morondava, where centuries-old Grandidier's baobabs line a dusty red track just 45 minutes from town. Time your visit for sunrise or sunset, when soft golden light sets the trunks aglow for unforgettable photographs. From here, continue along the same track deep into Kirindy Reserve, Madagascar's premier destination for spotting the elusive fossa, the island's largest carnivore, alongside seven lemur species including the playful common brown lemur and the acrobatic, upright-leaping Verreaux's sifaka. Before flying back to Tana, pay a visit to the fishing village of Betania for a glimpse of local coastal life.
The journey then heads east to Andasibe National Park, 135km from the capital, with a stop at the Pereyras reptile farm to meet Madagascar's endemic reptiles along the way. In Andasibe, Madagascar's most accessible and rewarding rainforest reserve, a nocturnal walk reveals frogs, reptiles, and lemurs hidden in the dark, while by day the haunting, whale-like call of the indri, the largest living lemur, echoes across the canopy.
From Andasibe, transfer to Manambato and board a speedboat along the Pangalanes Canal to Ankanin'ny Nofy, the "nest of dreams." This tranquil haven of white-sand beaches, orchid-scattered forests, lakes, and mangroves is a wildlife lover's paradise, home to indri, sifakas, mouse lemurs, crowned lemurs, and the rare, extraordinary aye-aye. Staying at the Palmarium Hotel, join an evening night walk to a small nearby island, one of the very few places on Earth where this strange nocturnal primate can still be seen in the wild.

Reviews of our Madagascar Experienced Traveler Tours
Our Experienced explorers reflect on their cultural journeys through Madagascar.
Lane | Traveled in July
This was a brilliant tour in every respect. Hery was one of the best trip leaders I've ever had. And the places we went and the things I saw made this a truly memorable trip of a lifetime. That said, it's not for everyone. Long days on bad roads were grueling, and some of the lodging was basic. But these things should not dissuade anyone from visiting this fascinating and beautiful country.
Anthony | Traveled in June
I was the only person booked on this tour starting June 5th 2026, so I ended up with a great "private tour". Explore and I were willing to change to a different tour date but my flights were not working out, so I stayed with the original plan. I had an excellent tour leader Salohy for the entire trip. A SUV was used for the trip - more agile than a tour bus at handling the tricky Madagascar roads - so we made good time on the travel days. The tour itinerary was closely followed in all cases including guides at the national parks. The favourites were Andasibe for the various types of Lemurs sighted and Isalo for the lanscape. All the accommodation was good - my "bungalow" at Ifaty was about 50' from the beach. There were very few tourists at the hotels as well as the parks. Weather was good with no rain but nights were cool 10 C and required a jacket - day time high 20-25 C. A great vacation done at my pace, since I was the only one around - many thanks to Explore and the local staff.

This was my first trip with explore and I couldn’t be happier with what I received. It was an excellent trip from start to finish. From the guide/local guides, to accommodation, to experiences available I enjoyed every minute of it. I felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
Anonymous | Traveled in June
Our tour leader Bruno Randrianantenaina was excellent. It was his first tour with Explore. I would highly recommend him for future Explore tours. He is extremely knowledgeable, has a great and kind personality. The local guide for the hiking was very good too. His name was Filbert. I didn't enjoy The Artisan Hotel very much. The rooms were very dark.
Lynne | Traveled in June
This tour has it all - amazing scenery, opportunities for interaction with local people, animal viewing, including lemurs, history, and a great itinerary which enables you to see a large part of the country. Our accommodation was resort style, and our leader was knowledgeable, friendly and very capable. Everything went well!
Sandra | Traveled in April
It was an excellent trip and we got see lots of lemurs, some up very close which was great. The tour leader, Charles was exceptional, he was very knowledgeable and could answer all our questions. There was a lot of driving but that was expected if you want to see the country and our drivers were very good too.
