Madagascar:
An island unlike any other place on Earth
Millions of years of geographic isolation have created a wondrous world in Madagascar, where nature develops according to its own laws. Here, the voices of the indri ring out in the tropical forests, sunsets are celebrated among ancient baobabs, and the bizarre stone labyrinths of the tsinga conceal rare animals and plants.
Probably, each of us, since childhood, has had some inexplicable attraction to this unknown island, baobabs, lemurs, wild starry sky, and aborigines dancing around the fire.

Discover a different Madagascar
Beyond the well-known landmarks lies a different side of Madagascar—one revealed to only a few: remote nature reserves, intimate lodges tucked away in the wilderness, and islands where you can find yourself alone with the ocean.
We curate destinations with a distinct character, craft the perfect blend of regions, and handle all the complex logistics. This allows you to see more—at a pace that suits you perfectly.
We have long been familiar with Madagascar, having organized trips across the island even before the pandemic. Today, we are returning to the destination with a fresh approach—made possible by the emergence of intimate lodges and private aviation, which allow for comfortable travel to places that were previously difficult to include in a high-end itinerary.
We curate experiences featuring small lodges and camps, compelling natural landscapes, and routes that prioritize quality over a frantic race to tick off as many sights as possible. Wherever it makes sense, we replace long overland journeys with flights, ensuring there is ample time to truly enjoy each location.

Madagascar is for those who have already seen a lot.
For travelers who are more interested in nature and unique experiences than a classic beach holiday; who appreciate small lodges and a lack of crowds; who love Africa but want to see a completely different side; and who are willing to sacrifice a little of the usual urban infrastructure for access to truly unusual places.
Even in its luxury format, Madagascar remains an adventure. Thats precisely its value.

Is a safari with kids expensive?
Its impossible to cover every lodge in one review, so we offer the most attractive options in various price ranges, tailored to family vacation needs (spacious family rooms, villas, the ability to watch animals directly from the hotel, a swimming pool, childrens programs, and play areas). You can find even more options on our website or schedule a personal consultation with one of our specialists.
A safari is inherently more expensive than a beach or city vacation. Typically, if you choose a prime lodge location within a game reserve, the price will include accommodation and three meals a day (since there are no restaurants nearby). Drinks are almost always included at private lodges, and almost all include two game drives from the lodge (morning and afternoon), as well as a park entrance fee, which in some reserves can reach up to $90 per person. If your budget is flexible, choose private game reserves; youll never regret your stay. Youll receive luxurious service down to the last detail, ultra-exclusive rooms designed by the worlds best designers, top guides, and an unparalleled immersion experience in the wild.
