Madagascar Magic – Special Offers

Since holiday planning has started up again, we are finding our clients are looking for an escape to quieter and less-visited destinations. Madagascar magic offers you exactly that! This is an utterly unique island, which offers even the most seasoned safari-goers various off-the-beaten-track areas to explore.

With 90 percent of all flora and fauna found in Madagascar endemic, and a blend of Austronesian, African, Arab and European culture, this island is a must-visit for any travel enthusiast. It's also home to the iconic lemurs – which are reason enough for many to venture here!

Madagascar holiday also has stretches of beautiful Indian Ocean coastline, which offer some fantastic exclusive retreats!

We absolutely love a handful of sustainably-minded luxury lodges and camps, which we have great relationships with, and you'll find these in our newly launched Madagascar specials for 2021!

Take a look! We then highly recommend speaking with Rob, one of only a handful of highly experienced Madagascar experts in the UK. He has designed countless trips across the country over the last decade and spent a considerable amount of time exploring the majority of Madagascar. Best of all he can advise on the best time to visit Madagascar.
