Day Trips from Ifaty

Madagascar Lemur Adventure

A fascinating journey through Madagascar with Sudmadatrek

We had a very interesting and memorable trip through Madagascar with Sudmadatrek. The journey was sometimes challenging because of the long driving hours and the conditions of the roads, but it was absolutely worth it. The nature and landscapes were spectacular. We particularly loved Isalo National Park and Ranomafana National Park, with their very different landscapes and wildlife. Anakao was also incredibly beautiful and a perfect place to relax towards the end of the trip. Everything was very well organized by Sudmadatrek. Our driver, Rija, was excellent: a very careful and reliable driver, as well as a very nice person. We really enjoyed travelling with him. Madagascar is not always an easy country to travel through, but it is a fascinating destination with extraordinary nature and wildlife. We are very happy to have experienced it with Sudmadatrek and would definitely recommend them.

Together with our guide Princi and driver Lova we had an unforgetable journey through Madagascar. The operator was flexible and made sure we had a personalized trip to fit our schedule. We feel like we got to know the real Madagascar.

12 Days Private Tour in Madagascar

An intrepid journey!

On booking, Hajatiana Lionel organised every aspect of our wonderful journey with military precision. From the moment we were met at the airport to our departure. Our driver and companion was well informed and helped us feel that we were welcome guests in Madagascar rather than itinerant tourists. Some of our excursions required a fair degree of physical fitness/stamina. All rewarded us with spectacular views and equally spectacular flora and fauna. For us the lemurs and baobabs were merely a small, and amazing part of the overall experience. The roads were largely execrable and distances long. However travelling slowly suited us, for the scenery was just overwhelmingly beautiful. The small hamlets and villages fascinating. We chose to eat locally and the 'Hotelys' did not disappoint. For us hotels are merely places to sleep. Clean sheets, a shower and a simple breakfast were enjoyed at every stop. The icing on the cake was the wonderful 'café au lait' variants that came with each breakfast. Madagascan arabica coffee is up there with its Ethiopian and Kenyan counterparts. We chose not to spend too much time at the beach (we live by the sea). However the nights we did stay by the ocean suggested that this option would certainly not disappoint (sea food amazing). Overall, an amazing glimpse of parts of this huge and spectacular island. We left wanting more, wishing we had months rather than days in this wonderful country. Postscript. I think, weatherwise, arriving in early April was a stroke of luck. The rain in the rain forests was no deterrent!
