I would definitely recommend this trip to others. I am a 26 year old female traveling solo. I always felt safe. The guides were fantastic and everyone was friendly. ...
Editor’s Take
What to Look For in Madagascar Travel Reviews
Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary. Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.
Madagascar tours are generally fairly active. You’ll be outside a lot, hiking, cycling, and nature walks are a key component of traveling in Madagascar. Most positive reviews for Madagascar comment on their tour guides expert knowledge, humor, enthusiasm, and ability to help travelers spot Madagascar's many unique species.
While Madagascar is small, this also means that some itineraries will try to pack a lot in to each trip. This can mean you’re on a bus for extended periods of time as you travel from one destination to another.
Some negative reviews comment on the extended bus time as a factor that meant their trip was less than 5 star. Be sure to read the tour itinerary carefully to ensure you feel ok with the travel time.
