    Monica

    Asked on September 27th, 2025

    Is it a particular road that is closed, or many? I see other tour companies advertising tour through November and into December.

    Tour Details
    • Sifaka VoyagesOperator•Written September 2025

      Only this area, mi- november begun rainy season. Of course we can organize a tour for you (solotraveler). Do you have any particular desires (culture, nature, adventure, sports, local encounters...) for this trip? Do you have an idea of budget (excluding flights)? The possibilities of activities and accommodations are so diverse that an approximate budget would allow us to offer you the trip that will fit your desires and your constraints. - The duration and the period of the trip ? - Are your plane tickets booked?

    • M

      Monica

      Traveler•Written September 2025

      I like to see the geography, animals, birds, vegetatation, people, or the area. I don't need to go snorkeling or swimming in the water. I prefer to be "on the water" not in it. I don't have plane tickets booked, because if I don't find a tour, I won't be going. Pricing seems normal for the many tours available to go to Madagascar. I prefer to be in a group, rather than on my own trip.
