World fourth largest Island, Madagascar is actually a mini-continent with several climate and multiple vegetation types. Madagascar, a Paradise on earth, isolated for millions of years, is kingdom of biodiversity and wildlife. Talking about the flora and fauna of Madagascar is talking of superlatives: Most of the Baobabs in the world are found in Madagascar, more orchids than the whole Africa, 19 of the strange elephant foot plants are Malagasy and only 5 in Africa, three times more palm tree species than the whole Africa, world largest and smallest chameleons, reptiles and amphibians and birds with world highest level of endemism, one of the world richest country in primates… A journey in Madagascar for its biodiversity will always be worth it. Green Pigeon Tours team has deep Knowledge of this side of the Island. We, Green Pigeon Tours team, have the experience and the guides and drivers are master of their subjects, and they were all born smiling: All the reasons to let us organize your holidays in the country; so… Welcome for a journey in Madagascar with Green Pigeon Tours.
Rainforest to see the biggest and smallest Lemurs, a primate-diurnal and nocturnal; the Parks and the Reserve are also home to reptiles, birds, and other mammals; varieties of plants and orchids make the botanists happy.
Tour to describe some parts of the Country for Wildlife, Lemurs, Reptiles, Birds, and more other, from rain to dry spiny forests, and from tall to bush scrubs. People, culture, and landscapes are very diversified and very rich.
This is a special tour for adventurers to explore the West part of the Country, and enjoy the sunset at the Baobab Avenue, then hike in the limestone of the Tsingy to admire the beauty of the nature.
Highly recommend Green Pigeon tours for visiting Madagascar! The company was high quality, reasonably priced, and very communicative. We did a cross country trip from Antananarivo to the west coast (Tsingy, Baobab, Morondava) and it was the trip of a lifetime. We drove through countless beautiful villages and changing landscapes. The vehicle was perfect for the difficult roads and we even took two barks (boats) down the river which was an exciting experience! The scenery was absolutely stunning. I highly recommend Andry for your specific guide. He was so much fun to be around, very kind, knowledgeable, and has the best laugh around :). He helped us with our specific requests, not just with logistics, but for example, also stopping at several small villages so we could play with the kids, which was a highlight of our trip. We were lucky enough to have his trainee along with us too, Volatina, which made the trip even more enjoyable- she will be an excellent guide in the future! It truly was the trip of a lifetime and I can not say enough great things about Andry, Volatiana and Green Pigeon tours!
We could never have traveled through Madagascar without Green Pigeon Tours. The driver who drove us most often, Momi, was very skilled at negotiating what the Malagasy called roads, but what seemed like a series of potholes linked by some concrete. Our access to the parks and reserves allowed us to see a variety of animals, most particularly the lemurs. We saw approximately 10 of the 107 to 113 species. In addition, the explanation by some of the guides, most prominently Paul Malagasy, allowed us to get a better understanding of life for the Malagasy, and motivated us to continue reading when we got home. We appreciated the visits to the textile weaving, wood-carving and paper-making workshops.
In Tana, the visit to Foundation H was a highlight. We had specifically requested a visit to this gallery, which besides, exhibits, provides workshops, space for artists, a library and café for the community, and we happened upon it during a festival of African artists who were women. ……………..
The hotels in Madagascar, including the Masoala Forest Lodge, were all very good, particularly our lodging in Tana (La Varangue), Isola National Park (Relais de La Reine), and the Mitsinjo Reserve (Mantadia Lodge). I loved the free laundry services at the forest lodge and the laundry services at the remaining hotels
