When are there enough participants for English, Russian or Spanish language tour? When is the tour definitely happening?

This tour begins from 2 persons. You are the first to register on this date.

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

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?

No register on the departure on 15th August for this tour. The trip runs from 2 people, if you have friend.

Is the departure guaranteed?

The tour is guaranteed from 3 peoples, how many are you?

Very nice trip Perfect hotel, nothing to complain about. A little disappointed by the first guide, but the second was perfect. Disappointed also by the lure of a mini catamaran cruise on the site, but this is necessarily by speedboat, there is no time to do both islands by catamaran. And no compensation between the price of a catamaran and a speedboat, it's not the same price at all. Otherwise very satisfied with sifaka voyages, and really very responsive, thank you very much.Show more

The tour is great to see all kinds of lemurs. Especially at Palmarium—a small resort within a lemur reservation....

  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.
