The island’s cultural heritage is fascinating and is a melting pot of Asia, Europe & Africa – these different influences can be seen as you travel around the country. The official languages that are spoken are Malagsy and French.
Madagascar is a unique destination just waiting to be discovered. It is easily accessible for international travel and due to its location is also a great destination to twin with it’s neighbouring countries on the African mainland, for example it is only a 3hr 20min flight from Nairobi into Antananarivo (TNR), the capital.

This is a year-round travel destination with a marine climate and mild winter. There are two main seasons, the high season which is July through to October where the temperature can be milder, depending on the location. Low season which is Nov – June, when temperatures are higher and rain can also be expected Nov through to April.
Madagascar does not currently offer developed infrastructure such as tarmac highways, many of the roads are small, however driving is an option for those who are happy to explore by road – however it is advised to have an experienced driver & suitable vehicle on the rough roads and in these sorts of conditions. Due to the size of the country and the infrastructure, flying in between locations is also a very popular way to explore this country, and cuts down travel time.
Current indications show that in 2023 Madagascar’s population stands at an estimation of just over 30 million people, which is a current population density of just 51.64 people per km2. If you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle you can really do this on this island, which is twice the size of the UK and half the size of the UK population.

Hello there, I'm Brad, and my safari odyssey began with my first expedition to Kenya in 1984. Since then, I've had the privilege of guiding and exploring various African destinations, from Tanzania to Ethiopia, Rwanda to Zambia, and beyond. Yet, after 34 years, East Africa still captivates me like no other. My most recent adventure here was in June 2018. As an Environmental Conservation major in college, I found my perfect match in Gamewatchers and Porini Camps, whose groundbreaking conservation efforts in Kenya are unparalleled. The moment you witness an elephant in the wild for the first time, you're irrevocably hooked, just as I was. Whether you're embarking on your inaugural safari or your tenth, I'm here to curate the ideal experience tailored to your expertise level, accommodation preferences, and budget.
