The mist is heavy deep in the Madagascan rainforest and sweat drips from your brow after a full-day hike. Then you see it grazing among the bamboo thickets – the rare golden bamboo lemur – and your heart leaps.

An experienced local tracker and expert park ranger will lead you deep into the Ranomafana rainforest in search of the elusive golden bamboo lemur, and when the sun goes down a night-time tour will reveal the forest’s nocturnal secrets such as the skittish fosa or small puma and the tiny mouse lemur. You’ll also traverse the island’s lush highlands where you’ll visit traditional villages and encounter the abundant wildlife; marvel at the barren landscapes and twisted rock formations in Isalo National Park; and explore the ancient old city of Antananarivo.

From the secret life of Madagascar’s deep rainforests to the lush highlands and the barren moonscapes of Isalo, this tour presents the island’s diverse environments in all their pristine glory. Experienced trackers and park rangers guide the way and reveal the elusive wildlife of the island’s unique ecosystems, and accommodations from historic townhouses to rainforest lodges provide an authentic Madagascan experience.
