Everything you need to know about Madagascar

Madagascar hosts many incredible safari destinations. Here are some of the top destinations to include in your Madagascar safari:

  • Masoala National Park: Madagascar's largest protected area

  • Andasibe-Mantadia National Park: Known for its lemurs, including the indri

  • Avenue of the Baobabs: A stunning and iconic landscape

  • Isalo National Park: A dramatic sandstone formation with canyons and waterfalls

Madagascar’s climate is tropical, with distinct dry and wet seasons. The dry season (April to November) is the best time for exploration, while the wet season (December to March) brings lush greenery but may hinder travel. A detailed breakdown:

  • January to March: Wet season with heavy rains and occasional cyclones. Travel can be challenging, but this is a vibrant time for rainforest photography.

  • April to May: The rains subside, and the landscape is lush and green. This is a great time for lemur spotting and fewer tourists.

  • June to August: Dry season. Cooler temperatures and excellent conditions for exploring national parks like Andasibe-Mantadia and the Avenue of the Baobabs.

  • September to November: The best time to visit. Wildlife, including baby lemurs, is abundant, and the weather is perfect.

  • December: The rainy season begins. This is still a good time for birdwatching and lush landscapes, but accessibility may be limited in some areas.
