Perfect trip!
We have spent 6 days with Soul of Madagascar through the south of Madagascar and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Enock was always very helpful while planning the tour, answering us very quickly and giving his thoughts regarding our plans, providing all the information we needed and being able to accommodate everything we wanted. Unfortunately we had a flight cancellation shortly before our trip which could’ve put it in danger but Enock was very creative to find solution and miraculously arranged everything so we wouldn’t miss our days at Ile aux Nattes. He knows Madagáscar like the palm of his hands, will teach you a lot about the country’s culture, take you to the most perfect spots and arrange you the most interesting and dedicated guide at the national parks you are going to visit. Everything was fantastic: the places where we ate, the stays and, of course, our brilliant driver: “Lanteau” (probably this isn’t the way to spell; I’m sorry!). Plus, he is a magnificent English speaker, which is hard to find since the majority of the guides only speak French. More than a guide and a trip, with Soul of Madagascar we got a friend and we can’t wait to come back to let him show us the rest of this beautiful country! Thank you, Enock!

The best tour of my life !
I booked a 10-days tour in Madagascar with Soul of Madagascar Tours because I wanted to go on an solo adventure in the west of the country and I figured out it was safer and easier with a tourguide. I contacted Enock and told him what I wanted to visit (the Baobab alley, the Tsingy of Bemaraha National Park and see some lemurs in the wild). Then, he designed the perfect program for a reasonable budget.
Once I arrived, I really had the time of my life : my guide Enock and our driver Fifi were very kind, friendly and generous with me, always giving interesting facts about the country, helpful assistance and very good vibes during the whole trip ! Enock even invited me to have the best local experience at his place for a dinner and an overnight when we stopped in Antsirabe on our way back. I spent time with him and his friends and it was amazing ! Also, he organized the distribution of second-hand clothes I brought from home to people in need we met along the way.
I will never forget when we passed by the rice terraces in the highlands, when we had beers watching the sunset in Morondava, when I first saw lemurs 2 meters aways from me in the Kirindy Forest, when I crossed the hanging bridges in the tsingy, or when I tasted ravitoto for the first time. So many great memories in such a beautiful and underrated country that I will never forget !
If you want to discover Madagascar, you should go with Soul Of Madagascar Tours, it is worth every penny. You will be in trusting hands and they actually offer the best prices from what I have seen. When you are there, it is not about counting money but about making sure you enjoy every second of it !
Thank you Enock and Fifi for everything, and maybe see you next time in Mada ! :D

Outstanding guide (Mananjara Enock), organized a once in a lifetime tour foe us
We (2 couples i) had the luck to find Mr. Mananjara Enock (via the Internet after reading former positive reviews) .
At the planning phase, he helped up "fine-tune" our special (18 days!) tour in Madagascar per our specific preferences, while keeping the cost attractive.
Since he met us at the airport, till dropping us there 18 days later Enock took care of ALL our needs (replacing hotels, assistance with food, demonstrating various Chameleons and lemors) and even helping me downhill after I've fainted (not his fault..).
Enock also arranged a professional driver who drove us safely during all these long days.
As said, thus has been once in lifetime tour for us.
With great pleasure I (on behalf of my wife too) HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr. Mananjara Enock and his company - Soul Of Madagascar.

Soul of Madagascar Tours is well-organized, reliable and a expert for tours through Madagascar
Enock was our tour guide on our 25days-trip through Madagascar in October 2022.
What should we say? We love this guy! He is polite, funny, well-organized and has a big knowledge about his country.
During the drive he often told us some tales and interesting facts about the regions and the culture. And also taught us a few words Malagasy.
He speaks fluent English, French and of course Malagasy.
He always helped us with everything we needed, e.g. translating, spontaneous itinerary changes, booking a snorkeling trip and many more.
The satisfaction of his client is very important for him and he did everything to make us happy.
You can notice that he likes his job a lot.
We had an amazing time in Madagascar and can definitely recommend Enock and his expertise as tour guide. We got a new friend now!
Thank you Enock!

Super friendly and reliable
I highly recommend this agency. Staff is super friendly, competent, reliable, and they speak excellent English. We asked them to arrange a train trip for us with the public Madarail train from Tamatave to Moramanga. These first class tickets are very hard to get. Theresia from Soul of Madagascar queued up several hours at the ticket counter and then, after some negotiations with the manager, she managed to get the tickets for us, even though the train was officially sold out. —- The train trip was a pretty unique and authentic experience, running through magnificent landscapes and remote villages. We were the only tourists on board. With just 25,000 Ar it was cheap as well. Big thanks to Theresia!

Professional Tour Operator
A wonderful experience in the south-west of Madagascar (Ambatomilo). We spent 7 days with Soul of Madagasca, visiting the Mikea people, the white sand dune, the baobab forest and the island of Manjaboaky.) The guide and driver were extremely professional and I really had the time of my life. They were fantastic and always gave interesting information about the country. A special mention to Thérèsia, the manager, who is an extremely kind woman, always looking after you and her team and doing everything possible to make your stay extraordinary. I highly recommend this agency. Here are some of my photos.

Reliable and Professional Tour Operator
I recently took a 13-day private tour with Soul of Madagascar in April 2024, after hearing positive reviews online about their guide and founder, Enock. He was very helpful and quickly responsive in planning our trip itinerary with private car for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, Mr. Enock passed away before our arrival and we were uncertain as to what would become of our trip. Despite this unforeseen tragedy, Soul of Madagascar maintained good professionalism and reached out to us multiple times to assure us that our trip would still be possible with some reorganization. We arrived in Antananarivo and were served by Mr. Anjara as our new guide and Mr. Rivo as our driver. The services these two provided were exceptional and every care was made to ensure that we were both safe and satisfied. SOM booked fine accommodations/lodges for us, as well as set up a fantastic Tsiribihina River cruise with an amazing boat crew. Special thanks to the boat chef of La Sirene, based in Masiakampy, who prepared restaurant quality meals all from a small boat kitchen! We did receive a flat tire on one section of the trip, which is expected from such long drives on Madagascar's difficult roads, but this was quickly resolved. My only suggestion is that the cars which are contracted by SOM be inspected and serviced regularly to make sure they are in good working order, and that the repair kits in the cars have the necessary tools. Aside from this, our itinerary that also included Alley des Baobabs and Ranomafana National Park was carried out without any problems. I would also like to thank SOM for working around our schedule and for providing us with airport transfer two days after our itinerary finished. I would recommend SOM Tours to anyone looking for a reliable agency, since traveling independently in Madagascar can be extremely complicated and stressful. Thank you!

GREAT EXPERIENCE, BEST ORGANIZATION by Soul of Magascar and Enock!! Professionalism and friendliness
Enock has been a great guide, accurate and very attentive to our needs and safety but more and more a great travel partner! We really appreciated he joined us in every activities, during the trekking on the forests, visiting the villages and the towns.
We stayed in best quality hotels and Enock checked for us the cleaning of the rooms.
We visited Madagascar also for photography, so our travel has been organized to visit a lot of natural reserves, national parks and also a lot of tipical ethnic villages and town markets
Last step of our travel we had relax and snorkeling at Ifaty beach leisure where we have enjoyed the best sunsets ever seen
I will come back for sure in Madagascar, organizing with Enock and Souls of Madagascar Travels :)
