Our Madagascar family holidays are perfect for families with a thirst for light adventure in an offbeat setting.
During these Madagascar holidays, children have the opportunity to learn about lemurs, chameleons and many other endemic animal oddities. Typically, we recommend a combination of reserves where terrain is easily navigable and wildlife viewing is relatively effortless, with time spent in family-friendly accommodation on the coast. As Madagascar is a malarial area year-round with a modest infrastructure and difficult geography, the island is best suited for children older than ten.
On your Madagascar family holiday, our talented, experienced and personable guides will help track flagship species down for you and share their knowledge about how iconic animals are, for instance, associated with local legends and folklore. We'll tailor-make your trip taking into account what you'd most like to see. For example, if it's iconic ring-tailed lemurs, we can include either Ifotaka Community Forest or Berenty Reserve, or perhaps the Isalo Mountains or Anja Community Conservation Site. The site/s we incorporate into your bespoke itinerary will depend on your family's personal requirements. Want to observe humpback whales? Or how about nocturnal species? Whale watching and guided night walks are two optional activities which can be arranged in various locations.
Among many other activities you can enjoy during Madagascar family holidays are sea kayaking, snorkelling, scuba diving, horse riding and 'herping' (seeking reptiles and frogs).
Speak with our Travel Specialists to tailor-make your family-friendly holidays to Madagascar.
