Verified Unforgettable experience
I had an unforgettable experience on my tour to the Tsingy de Bemaraha, thanks to the incredible team led by the guide, Theo, and the driver, Odilon. Theo’s deep knowledge of the local nature was impressive. This guy is a legend when it comes to spotting lemurs in the dense forest. We even saw the fossa literally a few centimeters away. Odilon, the driver, was equally outstanding. Navigating Madagascar’s notoriously bumpy roads can be challenging, but he handled it with ease and skill.I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Morondava, Kirindy Forest and Tsingy.

Verified Amazing Adventure
This was an absolutely amazing experience. Before we arrived in Madagascar, Naina was super helpful while we tried to figure out exact dates and getting from Antananarivo to Morondava. Our guide was Tau (I don't know how to spell his name properly), and he was great. He was excited to share the culture and nature of Madagascar and he was very knowledgeable about the animal and plant species in the country. He was also very concerned with us having a good experience, I got sick after climbing Tsingy because I did not have enough for breakfast (learn from my mistakes) and he made sure that the hotel sent hot water and sugar to the room that night to help me recover. This tour is a great way to see what Madagascar has to offer in terms of scenery, wildlife, and culture. The road between Morondava and Tsingy is pretty rough, but the driver knows what he is doing and it is cool to see how much the landscape changes. We saw lemurs, coua, and two chameleons. My sister and I felt very safe on this tour which was important to us as young female travelers.

Verified An experience of lifetime
Getting around Madagascar can be difficult, but our tour guide Naina and skilled drivers made is a smooth experience. We saw a lot of lemurs, chameleons, insects, geckos… Naina is an experienced guide and speaks very good English. He told us a lot about local animals and plants, as well as culture, and brought us to places probably only locals know: special baobab trees, cocoa trees, vanilla farms… He is funny, trustworthy, and flexible to change plans to our needs. Thank you, we had a great time!

Verified A great local tour company
I had 3 constraints: very little time to organise a tour, money, and 'I want to do this solo (but safe)'! Fact is, getting around in Mada is relatively expensive unless you take public transport, but I feel I got a reasonable deal from this local business. As mentioned in other reviews, NAINA- who runs Tsingy Tours - is really EASY to deal with, FRIENDLY, FUNNY, HELPFUL, TRUSTWORTHY: he'll either organise what you ask for or give you suggestions. He trusted me to turn up & pay him and I trusted him to have organised what I asked for: it was a good experience! Also to say that as a solo traveller I felt SAFE, and my driver looked out for me but wasn't over-protective.I asked for a driver only, he had a good sense of humour, and seemed to know every other driver and guide we saw en route as well as lots of the locals - this made it good fun. He knew exactly where a tourist might like to take photos and was willing to stop whenever I asked. The 5 day route was Avenue des Baobabs - Mangily village/Kivalo eco tourism - Kirindy Forestiere National Parc, Bekopaka (with a fantastic lunch at The Mad Zebu) - Grand Tsingy / Manombolo Gorge by pirogue / Petit Tsingy and back to Morondava. One night in Morondava then motorised pirogue to Belo Sur Mer for 3 final days of my holiday and back to Morondova for a night before going back to Tana.I should have listened to Naina when he said that I didn't need to make time for the Petit Tsingy as well as the Grand Tsingy ... I think a good option would have been to take a full day up the Manombolo to the waterfalls for some picnic & swimming.

Verified Great tour!
Fantastic tour! We did this 4 day tour and it was definitely one of the highlights of our Madagascar trip. Naina was a great guide: he spoke very good English, was attentive, flexible and shared a lot of valuable information with us (both about the places we visited but also Madagascar in general). During the tour we saw plenty of lemurs and kameleons, baobab alley and Tsingi. All the accommodations during the tour were nice and clean. He connected us with the best local guides and arranged a great driver and made sure we had the best experience all along. I would highly recommend this tour. My tip: don’t skip the little Tsingi tour ( it’s included in this tour)! It’s absolutely beautiful and not all less impressive then the big one 😉

Verified An Adventure of a Lifetime 💯
If you havent experienced it, you havent experienced Africa. It was definitely a trip of a lifetime! Backpacking Africa as a female solo traveler was a challenge but Naina and his crew made these 4 days as easy and smooth as can be. I went with Oliver and Naina’s brother Gera. They were super chill, attentive and considerate of my needs. I loved how Gera would research and get back to me with answers everytime I’d ask something trivial. It was a rugged and wild trip but felt safe over-all throughout and loved how personalized it was. The guides were all good and knowledgeable. I enjoyed all the attractions. I highly recommend! It’s the ultimate experience for adventure-seeking travelers alike.

Verified 11/10 unforgettable experience!
Naina, Oliver, and Fitiavana are some of the best tour guides I’ve had, period! I was traveling solo and they went above and beyond in terms of making me feel comfortable and safe. They were all extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the places we were visiting and acted with kindness every step of the way. Not to mention that they were all really great company!If you want guides that genuinely care about what they do, these are your guys! If you want guides that genuinely care about your comfort/safety, these are your guys! If you want guides that have good music tastes for the long rides, these are your guys! HahaI wish all the best for these guys!

Verified Exceeded all expectations!
This tour has exceeded all expectations! Naina is so friendly and communicative, and willing to adapt to your needs and requests. I can’t recommend this tour enough, the experience of a lifetime, and although I was travelling solo, I felt like I was travelling with friends the guide and the driver make you feel so at home! Just amazing!

Verified Unique experience
During the 4 days trip we had the chance to know so much of Madagascar: Culture, Baobas, landscapes, forests, rivers, beaches, lemours, chamaleons. Naina was our guide during the trip. He is a super easy-going guy, with a very positive energy and mood. That, together with the Land uniqueness, provided us a really amazing experience. Fully recommend this trip with Naina and Vale (our driver).
