Must-See Highlights Across Madagascar
Madagascar brims with extraordinary landscapes and species found nowhere else on Earth. Although you’ll want to see it all, here are some standout experiences to prioritize.
East Madagascar: Rainforest Wonders
The eastern region is a haven of lush greenery and rare species. It’s here you’ll find dazzling panther chameleons, red tomato frogs, and elusive comet moths.
Key destinations include:
Aye Aye Night Trek: Embark on a nocturnal adventure in search of the enigmatic aye-aye, with its wide eyes, batlike ears, and elongated finger.
Lemur Island (Vakona Reserve): Meet tame Eastern grey, red-bellied, and black-and-white ruffed lemurs; let them climb onto you for unforgettable photo ops.
Palmarium Reserve: Accessible only by boat, this remote sanctuary offers chances to see shy species like the Indri in relative seclusion.
Andasibe-Mantadia National Park: Trek forest trails past waterfalls and shimmering lakes, pausing to spot golden bamboo lemurs, Parson’s chameleons, or ring-tailed mongooses.
West Madagascar: Dramatic Landscapes & Unique Fauna
The western side is dominated by dry deciduous forests, stark terrain, and creatures unique to Madagascar.
Don’t miss:
Tsingy de Bemaraha: A UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its jagged limestone “forest”—hence the name derived from the Malagasy phrase for “walking on tiptoes.”
Avenue of the Baobabs: These majestic giants stand sentinel in silhouette at dusk—their ancient forms (some over 800 years old) make for iconic landscapes.
Kirindy Forest: At night, this deciduous forest comes alive. Look for mouse lemurs, chameleons, geckos, and even the fossa and greater hedgehog tenrecs.
South Madagascar: Rainforests & Coastal Splendor
Delve deeper into tropical interiors or unwind along dazzling coasts.
Highlights include:
Isalo National Park: A mix of canyons, grassy plateaus, hidden swimming pools, and waterfalls. Wildlife includes Madagascar ground boas, bright-eyed frogs, and Malagasy rainbow frogs.
Ifaty & Coastal Activities: Snorkel, dive, or canoe the clear lagoons off Ifaty’s shores, then close the day with cocktails as the sun dips below the horizon.
Ranomafana Rainforest: This ancient forest—isolated for tens of millions of years—hosts leaf-tailed geckos, ring-tailed mongooses, luminescent fungi, wild bananas, and more.
North Madagascar: Beaches, Coral Reefs & Biodiversity
The northern region is a paradise for marine lovers and nature seekers alike:
Nosy Be: A hotspot for snorkeling, diving, and swimming with turtles. Wander into rum distilleries or ylang-ylang plantations for side excursions.
Emerald Sea Lagoon: Its shimmering turquoise waters beckon kiteboarders, snorkelers, and anyone eager to float in a tropical utopia.
Amber Mountain Reserve: With volcanic lakes, cascading waterfalls, and dense birdlife, this reserve offers gentle trails flanked by butterflies and chameleons.
Île Sainte-Marie (optional add-on): Visit this whale-watching haven, famed for humpback whales and calf-rearing in seasonal months. The island also offers excellent dive sites and a glimpse into the region’s pirate past.
If you don’t want to miss Madagascar’s must-see treasures, consider our Madagascar Highlights Tour, which can be paired seamlessly with a North Madagascar Snorkeling Tour. Reach out and we’ll help design your perfect itinerary.

The Advantage of a Tailor-Made Private Madagascan Tour
A trip to Madagascar is often a once-in-a-lifetime journey — and getting it right matters. With our years of on-the-ground experience, we design private, flexible tours that fit your interests, schedule, and comfort level.
Perhaps you’d like to explore the dramatic Tsingy formations in the west, trek through Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, or spend a week snorkelling around Nosy Be. We curate every route, lodge, and transfer with care — using our trusted local partners, safe transport, and hand-picked guides.
Our tours let you travel at your own pace. Sleep in one morning, add a detour to a spice plantation, or devote an entire week to lemur tracking — it’s your itinerary, your way.
All our guides and drivers are fully accredited by Madagascar’s Ministry of Tourism, ensuring that your experience is not just unforgettable, but safe and expertly managed.
Why Travel with Local Accredited Guides in Madagascar?
Travelling with an experienced Malagasy guide turns a trip into a journey of discovery. They’ll show you not just where to go, but how to truly see Madagascar — sharing stories, folklore, and local insight that you won’t find in any guidebook.
Our guides are passionate custodians of their environment. They’ll help you spot a leaf-tailed gecko hidden on a tree trunk, find the best roadside coffee, or teach you a few Malagasy phrases to exchange smiles with villagers along the way.
We also have a collection of sample itineraries that will take you on a Madagascar holiday all over the mainland.
