Madagascar Travel Forum

Hi all,

I am thinking about traveling to Madagascar in the next year or two - a 2-3 week trip--and am currently in the process of researching things. However, I've never been to the country and would love any tips or stories anyone here can share.

I adore ringtails and sifakas and would love the opportunity to volunteer with preservation groups while in Mada. The idea of traveling with a group (Something like Earthwatch) would be awesome. Has anyone done this before? Are there any similar groups out there?

Also, airfare seems to be another major stopping point for me...has anyone found anything less than $6K per ticket? Maybe I am just having poor luck...

Anyhow, sorry for all the questions! I look forward to all the feedback you guys have to offer. :)

Cheers,
Anne

Hi there,

Me too it's a problem with airfares, but I think u could find sth for less than 2000 dollars for sure. Try www.kayak.com, funny enough April to June seem to provide the cheapest fares. Flying from Paris is a lot cheaper too, so perhaps you could get to either Paris and then fly out from there. Corsair also do chepa flights from Paris in around June for about 699 euros.
