Your local contact in Madagascar

I was born in Mahajanga and live with my family in Antananarivo. I’ve been working as a guide and driver in Madagascar since 2007.

When we plan your trip, we’ll talk about what matters to you: watching wildlife, hiking, exploring small towns and villages or spending time at the beach. Together, we’ll create an itinerary that suits you.

You’re welcome to write to me in English. I also speak Malagasy, French and German.

Let’s plan your trip

You don’t need to have a complete itinerary in mind. Your approximate travel dates and a few ideas are enough to get started.

  1. Your wishes

    Tell me when you’d like to travel, how much time you have and how many people will be coming. You can also let me know your planned budget.

  2. Itinerary and quote

    We’ll plan the stops, accommodation and activities together. Your quote will also set out which services are included.

  3. The details

    We’ll answer any remaining questions and adjust the plan where needed, so you know what your trip will look like before you book.
