  • H

    Hayley

    Asked on June 18th, 2026

    If we have a group of 4 or more is it possible to do this tour as a private group?

    Group size
    • Across Africa Tours & TravelOperator•Written June 2026

      Should your group consist of four or more travelers, and provided the booking is confirmed within this year, we will be pleased to honor the current group rate and waive the private departure supplement. Our standard minimum group size is eight participants; however, we are happy to extend this special consideration to your group as a gesture of our appreciation for early booking.

    • H

      Hayley

      Traveler•Written June 2026

      I wonder if there's any opportunity to customize the itinerary? I believe we all will be primarily focused on wildlife and especially lemurs so to maximize that experience for us would be perfect.

    • Across Africa Tours & TravelOperator•Written June 2026

      The itinerary can be customized to better align with your group's interests and travel preferences. Since your primary focus is wildlife, particularly Madagascar's incredible lemur species, we can certainly adjust the program to maximize your wildlife-viewing opportunities. Depending on your preferred trip duration and travel style, we can incorporate additional time in some of the country's premier wildlife destinations, including reserves and national parks renowned for their diversity of lemurs and other endemic species. We can enhance the itinerary to provide more guided wildlife walks, nocturnal excursions, and visits to reserves where lemur encounters are especially rewarding which is Andasibe National Park and Ranomafana National Park.

    Asked on April 25th, 2026

    What is the closest airport after visiting Ranomafana? Would it be possible to fly from Ranomafana to TNR or Nose Be from there. We like the classic tour however am worried about the possible 10 day drive especially if it is rainy season in Janaury.

    Transport
    • Across Africa Tours & TravelOperator•Written April 2026

      There is no commercial airport in Ranomafana. The nearest airports available after your visit are Toliara Airport and Ivato International Airport in Antananarivo.

  • G

    Gail

    Asked on April 14th, 2026

    Is it too early to plan for next year? We are concerned that our travels will be during the rainy season. The trip spends two nights in Isalo and only one night in Ifaty. Would a second night in Ifaty be preferable?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Across Africa Tours & TravelOperator•Written April 2026

      It is never too early to start planning, securing your booking now for next year ensures availability and allows you to lock in the most favorable rates currently offered.

      I would also recommend adding an extra night in Ifaty if you'd like more time to relax and fully enjoy the beach experience at a comfortable pace.

    • G

      Gail

      Traveler•Written April 2026

      How many hours a day will we be driving? It is really unclear. How much is the flight back? Do you arrange that? If we have an international flight out, can we schedule it the same day or do we need to spend an additional night in Antananarivo? If we wanted a custom trip that bypassed Isalo, could you do that? Do you have a different trip that goes to Nosy Be instead?

    • Across Africa Tours & TravelOperator•Written April 2026

      We would be delighted to assist with arranging your local flights once your booking is confirmed. Please note that flight fares can vary depending on your travel dates, time of booking, and class of service. As a general guideline, economy class tickets are typically in the range of USD 250–350 per person.

      For your international departure, we strongly recommend scheduling your outbound flight for the following day and spending one night in Antananarivo. This provides a comfortable buffer in case of any unforeseen circumstances, such as occasional delays or cancellations of domestic flights due to weather conditions, ensuring a stress-free end to your journey.

      We would also be happy to fully customize your trip to match your interests and travel style. Kindly share your preferences, and we will create a tailored itinerary designed around your travel goals.

    Asked on April 6th, 2026

    Since we are planning for January 2027 and it is the wet season there, we are hoping to pick the best spots so we are not rained out. We want to see lemurs and nature and some main sights. Can you let us know what the best tour for January 2027 would be since it is the rainy season.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Across Africa Tours & TravelOperator•Written April 2026

      You are absolutely right to consider the season carefully. January falls within Madagascar's rainy season, which typically runs from November to March. During this period, the island experiences high humidity, frequent tropical showers, and occasional cyclones, particularly along the east coast. Travel can sometimes be affected, with certain roads becoming difficult to access and a few parks operating on limited schedules.

      That said, January can still be a rewarding time for the right itinerary. The landscapes are incredibly lush, wildlife is very active, and it is actually a great time to see lemurs in the rainforests, especially in areas such as Andasibe and Ranomafana.

      This itinerary balances lemur-rich rainforests with unique landscapes and cultural stops, all in a 10-day format that's ideal for January travel. The tour includes guided excursions, lodge and hotel accommodations, and most meals making it easier to focus on the experience without logistical stress.

      Because January is wetter, this itinerary sticks to well-established routes and parks that remain rewarding even in the rainy season, giving you strong chances of great wildlife encounters and memorable scenery.

    Is it possible to add some beach days at the end of this tour? Or best to book that on my own?

    Tour Details

      Mike

      Traveler•Written March 2025

      What beach area is nice and easy to get to after the tour? Also - what would the additional costs be?

    • Across Africa Tours & TravelOperator•Written March 2025

      After the tour, the easiest beach to access is Nosy Be Island. The cost for an additional three nights in Nosy Be would be $1,946.

    • M

      Mike

      Traveler•Written March 2025

      What is the cost of the total trip? Can you quote both the comfort and luxury accommodations?

    • Across Africa Tours & TravelOperator•Written March 2025

      The price per person for joining a group on the 10-day classic tour is $2,970 (single room). The price per person for sharing a double room is $2,560. For a solo traveler, the price is $3,669. To upgrade to luxury accommodations, an additional $590 is required. Prices do not include local flights.
