Benja did an amazing job organizing my 2009 trip from Tana to Tulear. Everything went smoothly and we came in under budget.

We would recommend Madagascar-touring to anyone without any hesitation. The very professional team organised a two week tour which exactly suited our interests and was an unforgettable experience. Benja and Ernest are equally accomplished as guides - knowledgeable, interesting, enthusiastic and sensitive to everyone's needs. They were not only able to tell us about the environment, flora and fauna, the people and history, the buildings and natural features but also to drive us expertly between sites, supplement the knowledge of the National Park guides, administer minor First Aid and, on occasion, to cook - and all of this in either English, French or Malagasy.
We were only able to explore a very small part of the fascinating island, but it was a privilege to have this glimpse into life in Madagascar - and it was all thanks to Madagascar-touring.

We travelled with Madagascar Touring in 2006 for 2 weeks from Antananarivo to Tulear. Travelling with Benja it was like travelling with a friend. He was a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and reliable tour guide, fluent both in English and French. We highly recommend Madagascar Touring’s services. Madagascar is a beautiful land and people are very friendly. For further information don’t hesitate to contact us in English, French or Italian.

My trip to Madagascar was amazing. Benja arranged everything from hiking in Andringitra and Isalo, to visiting Vezo fishing villages near Tulear, to finding accommodation in Ranomafana. I hope to return to Madagascar someday. If I do, I will use Benja/Madagascar-Touring.

A 5-week itinerary, perfectly planned from begin to the end. Benja and Ernest have made our holiday the best possible. All arrangements were perfect, the hotel choices very suitable to our needs. Also, they are very flexible in changing the itinerary, even at the very last moment. If problems arise, they are solved professionally. Madagascar Touring offers a very good service, putting a lot of effort in making the trip the best possible, completely adjusted to your needs and wishes. Of the 5 weeks we spend 3 weeks on the road with Benja. Not just a good guide, but also a very good driver. We were lucky to have the opportunity to be traveling with such a nice, knowlegdeable, funny, English speaking guide.
We are very happy to have chosen Madagascar Touring and we can recommend it to anyone who has plans to visit this very special country!
If anyone has some doubts or want to know more (like I did) don't hestitate to contact us. We are happy to answer any questions custumors might have.

"We highly reccomend Madagascar Touring for a trip in Madagascar. From the very beginning Mr. Ernest helped us organizing the trip adapting it to our personal needs and interests, being always quick and precise in answering to our requests by email. For this reason he seemed to us to be a reliable person. During the whole trip Ernest was in touch with our guide to check if everything was going on in the planned way. We paid the trip price in advance by bank wire transfer. Everything was fine and we found a person waiting for us at our arrival at Tana Intl. Airport.
We had two really great weeks with our guide Tojo & our driver Jean! We explored the west of Madagascar starting from Tana where we met Tojo and visiting Antsirabe, Miandrivazo, cruising the Tsiribihina river to Belo sur Tsiribihina, hiking on the Tsingy of Bemaraha in Bekopaka, walking in the Kirindy Forest looking for the fossa, sunbathing in the clear blue water of Belo sur Mer, starring at the romantic sunset at the magic avenue of the baobab in Morondava and hearing at the amazing sound of the Indri Indri in the rain forest of Andasibe... An unforgettable trip, an amazing adventure through the nature, the landscape and the culture. We enjoyed so much the 3 days and 2 nights spent cruising the Tsiribihina river on the typical pirogue and sleeping on the river bank in tents together. The boat men
prepared the meals either on the pirogue or on the fire on the river bank, so delicious! Our guide Tojo is a fantastic guide, very patient, friendly, talkative as well and does his job with passion! He knows perfectly all the wonderful places we visited, as well as the animals, the plants, the birds and he always gave us good explanations to all our questions. He did all efforts to make our stay in Madagascar unforgettable. And this was really the case!
Misoutra namana be! Ou tsara!
