Harilala was knowledgeable about the culture of Madagascar, and passionate about the environment.
5/5

When traveling to Madagascar, it is important to enjoy the biodiversity of the environment without disturbing it. Harilala was able to convey the stories of the people who lived alongside the wonderful ecosystems, cared for the lemurs and other biota, and understood the impact that tourism could have on their environment. Tourists brought needed income, but if the tourists impacted the biodiversity through touching or feeding any of the wildlife, the wildlife would disappear, and with that, the tourists would no longer come. So protecting the lemurs and their natural habitat was of paramount importance for the sustainability of the enterprise. Knowing how fragile the ecosystems were helped us, as tourists, to respect the boundaries around our behavior, and enjoy the experience as precious and wild. Harilala was also knowledgeable about village crafts and culture, which brought a richness to our understanding of life in Madagascar. Everyone should visit Madagascar! But all of us need to leave Madagascar with a keen understanding of the uniqueness of the space, and a sense of the importance of the biodiversity there. I am already planning to go back to Madagascar, but to explore the northern part of the country, and to experience the growing of vanilla. I will be using Harilala to guide me to experience the best that Madagascar has to offer in an environmentally sensitive tour, while getting to know the wonderful people who call Madagascar their home.

Easy and safe way to travel
5/5

Our experience with the conpany was very positive. They arranged custom tour for us in very short time frame and everything went smoothly. Our driver took very good care of us and drove us safely around Madagascar even though the roads are not in very good condition. They have english speaking drivers for those whi don't speak french. Owner of the company is very active on whatsapp and Facebook, so it is veey easy to get information about tours. Would recommend.

A professional approach to nature tourism
5/5

We (my husband and I) were the most satisfied with Harilala and his team. We received all necessary information before our arrival, and Harilala met us personally at the airport. All transportation services and our schedule were arranged in advance so we do not need to waste any time. We especially love the accommodation that Harilala selected for us - very charming places and a good value for money. All specialty guide were extremely knowledgeable, and as a result we learn a ton about the fauna and flora of Madagascar.

Madagascar Natural Tours are professional, reliable, friendly, knowledgeable, good value for money
5/5

We really enjoyed our tour with Madagascar Natural Tours. We spent about four weeks touring the island with Harilala. Many of roads are in poor condition but we were always advised ahead of the journey. The slow travel meant that we could see life happening in the towns and villages as we passed. Harilala is very knowledgeable about his country, the people and wild life. We learned a lot about culture and history from him.

His choice and organisation of accommodation, route and sights was very good and met our expectations.

He is also a pioneer in environmental restoration and protection and we have a lot of respect for him.

We would be very happy to recommend him for your tour.

Harilala is dedicated to his clients and their experience.
5/5

I really can’t imagine a better value than Madagascar Natural Tours. We saw so many things it’s hard to put into words. Madagascar is such a huge country. It would take years to see it all. But our group felt like th two week trip provided us with a solid foundation and impressions and memories that will last a lifetime.

Great tour operator for tailor-made tours!
5/5

We had an 8-day tour from Antsirabe to Ifaty including a flight back to Tana with Madagascar Natural Tours. Harilala took care of the driver, all the hotels and activities for the whole week. It was a beautiful trip in a beautiful country and we had a very nice driver (Christian) who took great care of us during the trip from Antsirabe to Ifaty. I would definitaly recommend booking your Madagascar Tour with Madagascar Natural Tours, especially if you want to have a say in your itinerary, Harilala listens to your wishes and makes them come true!

An incredible breadth of knowledge!
5/5

Harilala, a native Malagasy, knows his country. History, fauna, resources, animals and the people. Our trip was amazing on so many counts: the beauty of the people and the land. We bombarded Harilala with questions about every aspect of life for his fellow Malagasy, and he shared such amazing information. During our 2 week trip we visited exceptional places, met lovely people and experienced those things unique to Madagascar. I couldn't have imagined a richer experience.
