Family holidays in Madagascar

Beautiful country but very difficult travelling around, very high poverty and average accommodation

Linah and Mirindra from the travel agency were incredibly helpful and enthusiastic. The airline lost our luggage and they were able to retrieve it for us without any disruption to our trip. Our driver, Gael, was wonderful, and always helpful. Whenever we needed him, he would magically appear. My husband and two teenage children and I had the trip of a lifetime in Madagascar. We loved every bit of it, the hikes, the driving, the meals, everything. We discovered that Madagascar is an absolutely beautiful country with a wonderfully friendly and kind population. One of our very favourite activities was the all day excursion at Isalo National Park. We never felt over scheduled, always had time to relax each day. I loved the fact that all the organization and planning had been done ahead of time, so we didn't have to do anything but enjoy the activities that were planned. I can't say enough great things about the trip, and every member of my family would agree, even my teenagers. Madagascar is an exceptionally beautiful country which offers many sights that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world. Evaneous, and the staff from the agency that organized the trip, gave us the trip of a lifetime that we will never forget. We all agreed at the end of the trip that we didn't want to leave, that we would have loved to continue on to more exciting locations, and that we must some day return to Madagascar. If and when we do, we would book through Evaneos again, and hope to see Linah, Mirindra and Gael again.

Madagascar is a fascinating place to visit. The wildlife and scenery are unique, the people friendly and good food too. Travelling as a family with two older teenagers it offered something for everyone. It is a long journey to get there from the UK but worth the effort.
