During our stay in Madagascar, we saw lemurs at Kirindy forest, hiked in the Tsingy of Bemaraha national park and enjoyed sunset at the marvelous Baobab Avenue. The roads was hard to drive on but we were told about it by the agency, so all good! Our driver was also top notch. Many thanks to EcotourMada for the organization of our family trip in Madagascar

I spent a week trying to book my own trip in Madagascar without any success. It's a tricky place.
So I dropped a last-minute, vaguely defined request to EcoTour Mada and am very pleased with the experience.
Some stuff was sold out, some prices were a little high, but I think that was mostly my fault for waiting until literally two days before I would arrive in Antananarivo.
Mariah was responsive and helpful and made great suggestions. When we ran into some snafus, she fixed them immediately and provided me with attractive alternatives.
I saw lemurs, I relaxed on beaches, I hiked, I ate well, and got city tours too.
Good stuff. I'd never have made an itinerary even half as good, on my own.

“Just finished an amazing two weeks’ trip with EcotourMada. Mariah was super helpful in planning an itinerary that suited me and enabled me to see everything I wanted. The wildlife and nature in Madagascar truly are incredible. I highly recommend booking your roundtrip in Madagascar with EcotourMada! Thanks Mariah!”

“EcotourMada organized a wonderful 11 days Madagascar tour for us. They took us to the best places at a fair price and we were enriched with fantastic experiences. I wholehearted recommend them for a round-trip in Madagascar. Thank you EcotourMada for allowing us to discover this wonderful country”

During our 11-day southern tour of Madagascar, we were professionally driven by a local driver who spoke very good English.
Hotels and national parks are arranged in advance, with English-speaking guides.
We had a great time during our trip, the car was ready to go every morning, nicely cleaned inside and out.
All our extra wishes were fulfilled (visiting a winery, buying rum, etc.) overall, I strongly recommend it to everyone!
The driver not only drove a car, but also introduced us to the rich history of Madagascar, talked about the customs of the tribes living on the island, and showed us the real Malagasy life.
We felt safe with him the whole time, thanks Fitia!
If I were to travel to Madagascar again, I would definitely choose EcotourMada!

We have just finished a fantastic tour with EcotourMada. Mariah was very helpful and responsive with all of our queries, and planned a trip that included the Avenue of the Baobabs, Kirindy forest, Morondava and Andasibe/Analamazaotra National Park. We only had a week but managed to maximise our time with lots of experiences. Mariah made sure everything was special for our trip!
All accommodation was of a high standard, our English speaking driver was experienced and knowledgeable, and all planned excursions were great - we seen lots of wildlife and scenery.
We would highly recommend visiting Madagascar with EcotourMada - we can't wait to come back and see more!

After several researches, we decided to choose ecotourmada to help us organizing the Madagascar road trip we wanted to do. Mariah was very professional, we told her the places we wanted to visit, she advised us and helped put everything together.
Before, as well as during our stay, Mariah was always attentive and above all very responsive!
Our driver was great, a very good guide.
We recommend ecotourmada if you want to discover this wonderful island!

We visited Madagascar for 2 weeks with Ecotour Mada. Mariah organised the perfect itinerary for us. She was extremely responsive and did everything to ensure we had the best trip. Our driver Manantsoa was great, he was experienced, professional and taught us so much about the culture and life in Madagascar. We would love to come back to Madagascar one day, if we do we will book with ecotourmada again! Thank you again Mariah and Mana!

We had a rough idea on where we want to go and what we want to see. I wrote an Email to Ecotourmada and Mariah answered quickly and in perfect English. She gave us a couple of ideas on how to get where we wanted and see what we wanted, plus checking flights and hotels along the way. Once we finalized the trip, she reserved all the hotels for us, booked the flights and organized a car with a driver. The car was in good condition and the driver was very friendly, spoke good English, was eager to learn from you and teach you a lot of Malagasy words and facts about the culture and life in Madagascar.
We had our trip divided into 3 parts. The first part was a 9 day road travel from Antananarivo to Toliara down the RN7. It was a well organized trip with a couple of stops to see local manufacturing of aluminum cookware, paper and lots more. We had a day in the Ranomafana national park and another day in Isalo national park. Both parks were amazing. You always have to have a national guide to hike around national parks, the ones Mariah chose were knowledgeable, very friendly and happy to show you around their "backyard". We ended the first part with a couple of beach days in Ifaty and flew back to Tana. The second part was not organized by Ecotourmada, we have planned a 6 day stay on Nosy Be. After we flew back from Nosy Be we have done another 6 day road trip from Antananarivo to Morondava. We stayed one day in kirindy forest to see the fossa (which we did) and had a day in Morondava. In Antsirabe we met with a local lady to cook together, we went shopping in the market first and then cooked together at the home of her friend. This was one of my favorites, since you get so see and learn so much about the everyday life of malagasy people.
All in all Ecotourmada was a great choice. We could ask any questions beforehand, like how to get Ariarys, how much to exchange, what to tip your driver and guides and so on. During the stay Mariah made sure we are happy and checked in with the driver regularly. The hotels were nice and had quite the high standard for Madagascar. For our flight from Toliara to Antananarivo she even booked us special food, which we were quite happy about. I would totally recommend Ecotourmada anytime.

Thank you Mariah for organising that amazing trip! Everything was so perfect, I met really nice locals. Very professional. Highlight the 2 days on the Boat with Josef. Saw wonderful landscapes, saw a lot of lemurs. I never felt alone on this trip, from the beginning until the end was everything on point. I would book this trip with EcotourMada again.

A thousand thanks Mariah for one of the most beautiful trips I have ever made. You were always available for me and our group and did everything to make our vacation fantastic. If I were to travel to Madagascar again, I would contact you again in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, these three weeks went by far too quickly.

A wonderful adventure that I will keep in my heart forever! It was a very special trip from the start. Not only did we discover the real Madagascar in terms of landscape, but we were also able to get closer to the locals and learn about the culture of the country! Whether it's visiting the locals, camping around a campfire (thanks to Joseph for the music), climbing in Tsingy National Park or snorkeling on beautiful islands, it There was a little bit of everything!
Far from mass tourism, we discovered the country, the animals and the people in the most beautiful way!
Thank you and big compliments for Mariah's effective planning and constant availability!
Absolute recommendation!

An absolute recommendation for a trip with Ecotourmada. Everything was well organized, we discovered Madagascar in a very authentic way, far from mass tourism. Mariah was always available to us at all times and was a caring person. 🙂 The trip was an unforgettable adventure and had many highlights. Here are some examples: a cruise on a river, nights in a tent, swimming at a waterfall, observing lemurs, evenings around a campfire, climbing in the Tsingy national park, Avenue des Baobabs, overnight stay with a host family, visits to different villages, dancing with locals, boat trips to different islands with snorkeling, beautiful beaches, etc. Quite simply a great country with all its facets.
