The cost of a private tour in Madagascar varies according to several criteria: duration, comfort level, selected activities, and the season. Mada Tours Guide offers 8-day / 7-night tours starting around 2,400 $, including guided visits and quality accommodation. For longer trips, such as 15 days, Mada Tours Guide proposes comprehensive packages around 3,600 $, including complete services and experienced local guides.
Customization is a strength of Mada Tours Guide: depending on your preferences (luxury hotels, diving, safaris), prices can range between 2,000 and 4,000 $ per person, allowing you to tailor your budget precisely to your needs.
The best tour depends on your interests, as Madagascar boasts exceptional diversity. Mada Tours Guide provides varied itineraries, notably the renowned National Route 7 (RN7), connecting Antananarivo to the south. This itinerary is cherished for its highlands, rice paddies, and the Isalo National Park. Other options include tours incorporating Andasibe-Mantadia for lemur spotting, or cultural visits for local immersion.
For nature enthusiasts, Mada Tours Guide highlights routes to the Tsingy limestone formations or hikes tracking lemurs. Therefore, the ideal choice depends on your priorities—nature, culture, or adventure. Mada Tours Guide offers tailored itineraries meeting your exact preferences.
For a 15-day private tour, Mada Tours Guide provides circuits around 3,600 $, covering key attractions like Lake Tritriva, Ranomafana, and Isalo, with comfortable accommodations. This price can vary based on your chosen transportation, hotel standards, or extra activities (diving, upscale lodges).
On average, with Mada Tours Guide, expect a budget between 3,000 to 4,000 $ per person for 15 days. The provided customization allows adjusting this cost to your preferences and desired comfort level.
The dry season, from April to October, is ideal for a private tour in Madagascar. The weather is pleasant without the heavy rains or cyclones typical of November to March, easing travel and outdoor activities. Mada Tours Guide recommends these months to fully enjoy the parks and outdoor attractions.
However, specific regions have their particularities: the east coast remains humid while the south is arider. Planning with Mada Tours Guide between April and October ensures optimal conditions for exploring the island without weather-related disruptions.
Yes, 7 days can suffice for a private tour but limits exploration to a specific region. Mada Tours Guide offers itineraries like the RN7 from Antananarivo to Tulear or nearby parks such as Andasibe, achievable in one week. Their 8-day tours provide a good overview, though long journeys can limit time spent at attractions.
For a fuller experience, 10 to 15 days are preferable due to the island’s size and road conditions. With careful planning, Mada Tours Guide ensures a satisfying experience even on a 7-day trip, especially suitable if you prefer a calm pace and easily accessible sites.
