Rainbow Tours is the most experienced Madagascar specialist tour operator in the UK. Derek Schuurman has been travelling in, writing about and arranging holidays to Madagascar since 1992. He is an author of the Bradt Madagascar Wildlife guide and the Globetrotter guide to Madagascar, and a major contributor to the authoritative Bradt guide to Madagascar. Judith De Witt, who launched our programme in 1999, travels in Madagascar at least twice each year and Rainbow Tours is proud of its contribution to establishing Madagascar as a mainstream destination.
