Lemurs, chameleons, fossa, and hundreds of endemic birds and reptiles! National parks offer the best sightings.

Mid-range. Remote areas can be pricier, but street food and camping keep costs down.

Madagascar offers unparalleled biodiversity and landscapes—from baobab-lined dirt tracks to jagged Tsingy pinnacles, spiny deserts, lush rainforests, and remote beaches—all accessible by rugged 4×4. It’s a journey where each day feels like exploring another world.

Yes. Malaria is present year-round in most parts of Madagascar, particularly in coastal, lowland, and rural areas. Risk is lower in the highlands (like Antananarivo), but overland routes often pass through higher-risk zones—so precautions are essential.
