Do you do birding trips in March 2024? We are interested in a birds (and wildlife) tour, 5-7 days, in Madagascar, between March 1-18.

If we have 7 days in Madagascar in March, which would be the best areas to see the most birds at that time (accessible during a 1 week trip)? What type of itinerary would you suggest?

I am wondering if the tour is running on September 22 to 26? I am a solo traveler, would like to join the tour that time.

We do not have a travel group. The trip can always be done solo for $1619.

Tiana managed the tour planning attentively and was very supportive when the Airline has changed the flight date of the domestic flight, rearranging hotels and itinerary. Veve (the guide) and Ndzu (driver) were excellent and looked after us in the 8 days tour, knowledgeable, always smiling and positive and supportive when we didn't like one of the hotel in Kirindy, so they rearranged to go back to Morondava after the night visit at the forest, and rearranged the plans for the following day. Thanks also to Kelly and the Driver in Antananarivo for looking after us on the last day of the tour! We would highly recommend the agency. We loved the experience, it is an unforgettable holiday and Green Island Discovery made it possible!Show more

- Green Island DiscoveryOperator•Written March 2023
  The bird watching trip is feasible in March and remains valid for the year 2024. The best time for birding is between September to December, but some species can be seen all year, especially in March. We propose 2 national parks for 7 days: Andasibe Mantadia and Ankarafantsika - first starting in the east rainforest and then joining the northwest dry forest.

  Traveler•Written March 2023
  I have lately been hearing of many travelers I know running into heavy rains and cyclones in Madagascar in February and March. I think we will wait and plan to come another time in Sept-Nov rather than taking a risk of heavy rains in March.
