The best experience from start to finish
Highly recommend Mi travel and am definitely going to use them again for my next trip and am recommending to all my friends..just a few of the reasons why below:
I love solo travelling ( I do it 80+% of the time) so I originally thought to do a self-drive trip to Madagascar. When I started running out of time to plan, I inquired with different agencies about itinerary options and costs for driver/guide. Mialy from Mi travel was so responsive, friendly, patient, and a pleasure to work with. She customized every part of the itinerary to my liking (from activity level to costs, and places to stay- I recommend air conditioning!).
On arrival, Mialy was there to welcome me and make sure I got situated with a local SIM, cash etc and then I was introduced to my two companions - Anjara and Jao, who would become like my brothers and great travel companions for the next 10 days. The two of them really made my trip so special, and 169% better than travelling alone. They were so fun, we looked out for each other and teased each other like good friends would, and I learned so much about so many aspects of Madagascar thanks to them. There were some long drives on not well-maintained roads to get to some of the most beautiful places, and they managed to even make the long driving days a relaxing, fun, and memorable part of the trip. I am so thankful to Mialy, Anjara and Jao for making my first (of hopefully many!) trips to their wonderful country such an amazing experience.
PS I highly recommend having a driver and guide instead of self-driving if you want a bit more of a relaxing vacation - it’s driveable, but many of the roads are in not-great condition and there are long off road stretches where it’s only 1 car width for traffic in directions at times so even passing cars coming opposite you must be planned carefully ..
