Highly recommend!
I was on 15 days privet trip as a lonely traveler on the south part of Madagascar, i were with a local driver that also guider and his English was great and every question i had on the way he explained me really good!
Every hotel that i been surprised me for good (its great hotel even for couples) and enjoyed every place that they took me! (Especially at Palmarium Hotel Ankanin'Nofy)
I want to give special thank to riantsoa (travel agent) that help me with any questions I had before the trip she really take care about everything and they are really trustworthy company!

Wonderful experience
When contacting Malagasya Travel, I was surprised by their friendliness and agility. I entered the Safari Booking website, filled out a form and in less than 24 hours the Riantsoa travel agent contacted me to understand in detail what I wanted. We put together a wonderful personalized itinerary that fully met my expectations! On the day of my arrival, I was greeted by them with an invitation to have dinner to get to know each other. It was a pleasant surprise for me.
During the whole trip I was very well assisted by all the places I went! The trip was wonderful and everything went according to plan.
Without a doubt, I highly recommend the company and will certainly make new trips with them!

Reliable!
I really appreciate that Malagasya had worked out a good itinerary, and most importantly had assigned a great driver (Mr. Jocelyn) for me.
I had a unforgettable tour, and looking forward to return to Madagascar to explore other part of it. This country is filled with tonnes of hidden gems.

An amazing time with a helpful tour operator and great value for money!
My wife and I did a 2.5 week tour with Malagasya travel from mid-August to September 2022. The help and communication from our tour rep Riantsoa was incredible! It’s the best communication, advice and service we have ever received from a tour operator. The service prior to the trip was so good that I even wrote a review of the company before we had gone on holiday! Which, I know is crazy, but it just goes to highlight the level of customer care they had already delivered. Safe to say, now we have been on the trip I can write a proper review of the adventure itself, and it was just as good as the service we had received before we had boarded the plane.
The itinerary we originally chose was the 15 day tour “Tired of staying home, visit Madagascar”. We ended up adding 3 extra days as we had the time, and as other people have noted, there is a lot of ground to cover and we thought the few extra days would allow more time to relax in certain areas before the longer driving days. All in all though the itinerary allows you to explore a large and diverse portion of the country, from the tropical rainforests in the east, to the highlands and rock formations in the middle, and dry-forests and beaches in the south-west. All the hotels we went to were top-notch, with great service and friendly staff. And our driver Roamihaja (Roami) was a true gentlemen and great driver-guide for our entire trip! If you want to see a lot of Madagascar in 2 weeks then this is the tour for you. If however, you have the money, and time to take 3 extra days then I would advise it as it would allow…
1 extra day in Palmarium Reserve or Ranomafana (tropical rainforests where there are many beautiful animals to see).
1 extra day in Isalo national park to do more hiking in the beautiful mountainous terrain.
And 1 more day to relax by the beach in Ifaty.
But for those with just 2 weeks to explore this unique island I highly recommend going with Malagasya Travel. You’ll be in safe hands with their brilliant staff!

Brilliant from start to finish.
My husband and I organised a private tour with Malagasya Travel for 18 days. The communication was impeccable, our driver Raomi was friendly, easy-going and very helpful, and the tour itself was brilliantly organised. We felt very well taken care of and although there can be a lot of driving, the activities organised were great (not too much, not too little). One thing we asked to add during the trip was a stop to Zombitsie National Park for a couple of hours and it was great with lots of Lemur sightings!

Everyone at Malagasya worked so hard to make our customized trip FANTASTIC
We highly recommend Malagasya Travel who helped us customize an amazing 10 day trip in Madagascar that included our wonderful English speaking driver/guide Christian Berthin (who was safe, knowledgeable, friendly, and very professional), hotels, guided park visits, airport transfers, and loads of information. Riantsoa was our trip planner and was fantastic about answering so many questions we had, which we did all via email. This is definitely a reliable company! They did everything they said they would, plus they were all so nice!

Our tour operator Harry was incredible and loved the tour.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an adventure through Madagascar. Harry and our driver were incredible and very informative. They made sure we were comfortable and made us feel very safe. The overall tour was setup very well and made geographical sense. Riantsoa was also readily available whenever we needed to get in contact with her.

Excellent tour
I used Malagasya travel for my trip to Madagascar in October 2022. I contacted them via their website and I received a response very quickly. At first, they gave me a custom itinerary but it was too long for me as I didn't have that much time in hand. So I gave them my requirements and the locations that I wanted to visit. They immediately reverted with a customized itinerary based on my needs. Their service was impeccable right from the start. The driver they assigned me spoke excellent English and the whole tour was a breeze. They even organized a dinner for me on the last night of my tour. Last but not the least, they helped me with the postcards that I wanted to send to my friends across Europe, North America, and Asia. I'd highly recommend that you book your tour of Madagascar with them whenever you're planning to visit it.

Very well organised - I felt well looked after all the time
It was my first time travelling to Madagascar and with Malasya Travel.
Since I wanted to travel the western part in November I did some intensive research and was very lucky to find Nary and his team. I could dicsuss all my ideas and wishes and I ended up with a program that included everything I wanted to see. Even before and during the trip they were always flexible and I really felt the Malagasya team wanted me to be happy and enjoy Madagascar.
In addition, the hotels were excellent, my guide Coco was very knowledgable (especially about birds) and the driver Christian was very experienced and a reliable and fun guy on top of that. Even when we had a problem with a tire and an early flooding crossing our path - everything was taken care of in a relaxed but efficient manner, allowing me to enjoy every mile of the journey.
On the last night of my trip, Nary and Riantsoa even invited me to a nice restaurant in Antananarivo, ensuring a perfect end to a fantastic adventure.
While it was not a cheap vacation, I can only thank the great people I met along the way and can definitely recommend a Madagascar trip with Malagasya travel.

Amazing touroperator!
First of all a special thanks to Hery and Riantsao. Thank you Riantsao for the communication before the trip. You reacted really fast and everything was clear. Thank you Hery for guiding me during the trip. You have such an extensive knowledge about the culture, nature, and wildlife of your country. You made the trip so good together with the driver. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Madagascar thanks to you guys. I did the tired of staying at home tour with Malagasya. It has been an amazing trip and it took me to some of the best national parks in madagascar. My only point of feedback is that some of the days were quite extensive travel days with a lot of hours in the car. I do understand it because the country is really extensive and the tour tried to cover as much as possible of the country. All in all an amazing trip guided by amazing people. Thanks you so much.
I also made video about the trip. If you're interested to see what the trip covered please feel free to watch it :).
