We really enjoyed the tour

25-Oct-2022

We really enjoyed the tour. Good mix of wildlife trips, driving and stop offs to see different areas of the island. Hotels were comfortable and couple of them were very nice! All well organised and our guide Roger was friendly and knowledgeable as we travelled around and also on the trips/activities Alex at Fosa Travel also very responsive to any questions and helpful as we added a few days to the standard itinerary. No issues between Alex and Roger switching one of the nights midway through the tour as well. Thanks both, we very much enjoyed it! :) Penny and Alex

MADAGASCAR 9 Days Baobabs and Lemurs Tours

Thank you for the most amazing trip, taking in incredible scenery, wildlife and culture. All of the guides were very knowledgable, friendly and helpful, and the accommodation at each stop was very comfortable. Viti was excellent company on the (very) long drives between destinations, and recommended some equally excellent restaurants on the way. All in all a fantastic experience, and I hope to come back one day to experience more of this wonderful country.

What an amazing experience!

01-Apr-2024

What an amazing experience! The tour was very well organised, we managed to see all the attractions as presented in the itinerary, with plenty of time to explore at each stop. Our driver guide Antsa was super polite, knowledgeable and made his best to keep us entertained and informed. He accommodated all our stop requests and was flexible with the schedule of the day. I couldn’t have asked for a better driver guide. The distances between the attractions are quite big and the infrastructure of the Madagascar needs improvements, one must be aware that some big amount of time will be spent in the car travelling (and as mentioned in the itinerary), but we made the most of this and enjoyed the scenery snd got plenty of local stories from Antsa to keep us entertained. Hotels were acceptable (with a bit of a quality challenge in Morondava where rooms can be better cleaned and updated, and card payment was not always available, with the change being a challenge for the cash payments). However, amazing experience and definitely will do it again if I’ll have to decide.
