Travel and transport agencies Madagascar

Founded more than 20 years ago, this travel agency is an actor of solidarity tourism. Indeed, since its birth, it has been dedicated to the production and realization of trips for people who are curious to approach the political, economic and cultural realities of the countries they visit. The agency proposes to meet those who work for the development of their country: local associations, non-governmental organizations, creators of small businesses, teachers, doctors, artists...

Based in Antsirabe, this travel agency offers original tours, punctuated by beautiful encounters, excursions to discover the region and the know-how of its inhabitants: afternoon with a blacksmith, meeting with Malagasy musicians, initiation to pottery, discovery of a traditional soap factory, visits to Antsirabe or the village of Betafo. The benefits of the agency are donated to the NGO Grandir à Antsirabe. Specialized in the Vakinankaratra region, the local team creates unique regional tours!

Fun & Boat was created in 2018 by Renan & Laurent, two partners experienced in tourism and boating. They offer off-the-beaten-track excursions to the various islands around Nosy Be: Nosy Iranja, Nosy Komba Nosy Sakatia, Lokobe but also quad biking and whale watching trips, transfers and boat rentals (2 Suzuki 8-meter 200hp boats). Excursions or sea outings can be organized by the day or over several days, with an experienced, attentive and multilingual team.

This tour operator is run by Zena, an Englishwoman of Tanzanian origin who gave up her Western life and the London cold to return to her homeland and realize her dream of setting up her own agency. Dynamic, full of ideas and reactive, she organizes tailor-made trips with an eye to the quality of the services on offer. In addition to classic safaris in Tanzania's northern national parks (including the Great Migration), she offers innovative experiential tours, as well as tours and stays in Zanzibar.

All inclusive circuit (base four people, hotel accommodation type orchid or Bemaraha Olympe) at 240 € per person for a stay of 3 days, 325 € per person for a stay of 4 days.

The good find! As follows: Cotisse also provides connections between Tana, Tamatave, Morondava and Fianarantsoa.

This agency, well established in Mada since 1994, is the specialist of trekking in the Makay massif. For small groups of 4 people minimum, they propose a 9 days expedition in the North, another 15 days in the South and a grandiose Trans-Makay from North to South of 22 days (including 16 days of trek)! Superb.

It organizes regular outings on different itineraries throughout the country, tailor-made trips, 4x4 expeditions, trekking, honeymoon trips, but also Top Class programs through its exclusive brand Secrets of Madagascar.

Roots Travel is above all a love story! The one that Damien, Othello, Pavel and Stéphane felt for Cuba and its inhabitants. In 1995, they formed an association to promote Franco-Cuban cultural events. With time, they passed from the association to the travel agency. The spirit of "travel other", declines this idea in New York, Cape Verde, Sri Lanka, Paris, the Dominican Republic and the Seychelles. This is why Roots Travel has become THE specialist in homestays and authentic destinations.

Since 1996, Sensations du monde has been offering tailor-made trips. With family, friends or lovers. They offer two specific tours for Texas: "Discovery of Texas" and "Grand Tour of Texas", the first one being 11 days and the second one 17 days. They are both self-guided tours.

Rental of vehicles. But the big point of this agency is its great knowledge of the Pangalanes Canal, Manakara in Tamatave. The canoe mini-cruises between Mananjary and Mahanoro (2 days/1 night) or nearby promise great memories: between navigation and beautiful songs, stopovers in the villages to refuel and bivouff.

Tour operator specialized in adventure circuits in Madagascar, HFP Tour and its team of experienced agents offer a wide variety of tourist tours. A holiday, a wedding trip, a tour tour, many variants are at your disposal to explore the island.

If the service resumes during your visit, the journey from Fianarantsoa to Manakara with the "small train of the cliffs" is an expedition not to be missed. The railroad was built between 1927 and 1936 by Chinese workers but the rails come from Alsace! An "adventure" rich in discoveries, in emotions, a little exhausting but unique awaits you. Note: the road from Ranomafana to Manakara offers undoubtedly more beautiful panoramas, but it is difficult to penetrate the daily reality of these small stations that nobody knows.

The train serves 20 villages between Fianarantsoa and Manakara.

From Fianarantsoa to Manakara: departures on Tuesdays and Saturdays around 7am.

From Manakara to Fianarantsoa : departures on Wednesdays and Sundays around 6:45 am.

Approximate travel time: in theory from 8 to 12 hours for 163 km... I might as well warn you, it can take up to 24 hours! The local population depends on this train, which is their only contact with the outside world. As a result, the transport of goods becomes very important: the stops in the stations are made according to what there is to load and unload. There is also the possibility of a derailment, of course, which can cause a considerable mess in the planning of your trip. Therefore, plan one or two days in your schedule if you want to try the adventure.

The prices of the tickets were at the last news 100 000 Ar for the way Fianarantsoa-Manakara. The easiest way is to contact the guides' association to help you book.

On the rails. This trip is a slow journey in the heart of the Malagasy reality, an immersion in an aspect of the life of the deep country. The hours pass quickly so much there is to feel, to see, to hear, and to meet. You can walk, stretch your legs, read, stroll during the stops. The track is often quite steep from the Highlands (Fianarantsoa is at an altitude of more than 1,200 m) to the coast. First, the cars cross beautiful rice terraces punctuated by graceful Betsileo houses and large areas devoted to Sahambavy tea and vineyards. Then, once crossed the Sahambavy river, the forest spaces punctuated with hibiscus, jasmine, flamboyants and mimosas begin.

At about forty kilometers from Fianarantsoa, once past the locality of Ranomena, the railroad that now borders a long cliff descends a very steep slope punctuated by bridges crossing rivers, running along rapids, before crossing the Mandriampotsy falls. From then on, the Indian Ocean becomes perceptible on the horizon beyond the forest tops punctuated with majestic ravenalas. And the villages follow one another: Madiorano, the coffee growing center of Tolongoina, Manampatrana. Each stop sees an exchange between travelers and inhabitants of the surrounding villages: fruits, drinks, cigarettes, precious stones are negotiated in the corridors, on the platforms, in the undergrowth, until the departure. Further on, the train crosses Sahasinaka and enters the coastal regions whose vegetation cover is largely degraded, the large forest giving way to a mixed vegetation where ravenala dominates. At the level of Ambila the marshes mark the beginning of the historical regions of Antaimoro, then the train continues to the port of Manakara and the shores of the Indian Ocean.

All kinds of classical circuits and adventures (hiking and trekkings), but also à la carte throughout the country, especially in the zafimaniry region, on the Pangalanes Canal (around Mananjary) and the south road, the descent of the Tsiribihina and the Tsingy. Rental of cars (light, 4 x 4, minibus and even driver with guide driver). Personalized and friendly service, the small team (led by Dilann) is nice and available.
