Tour in Mada with Madagascar Visite Company
Save

My friends and I wanted to explore Madagascar and we preferred to hire a guide who could show us the country. A friend of a friend recommended us Madagascar Visite Company, and today is our 12th day in Madagascar with them! It is been great up to now - we still have 5 more days left. We've been visiting the South, and although Madagascar requires long hours in the car, it is really worth it: Ambositra, Ambalavao, Isalo, Ifaty, Ranomafana, Manakara... Lemurs, chameleons, geckos, frogs, snakes, amazing flora... And the people! So nice, smiling and generous, in spite of the poverty... Such a beautiful country!!

Madagascar Visite Company provided us a driver (Besson, a lovely lovely person) and a guide (Johanna, who provides lots of explanations). I've felt at ease from the beginning, I never felt in danger or left alone. I'm really enjoying it!

Im currently on a 16 day trip around Madagascar with 4 of my friends. Joanna has organised everything from locations, hotels to visits. Its been a very smooth trip so far and our driver Besson is lovely! Ive felt safe and secure the entire time. Its a much more comfortable ride that in the infamous taxi_brousse!

Ask Joanna for our itinerary bcos its been great. We started in the capital Tana and moved south all the way to Ifaty stopping off at several towns along the way. We've seen Lemurs and been in a Rainforest, eaten Zebu, seen silk scarfs being made first hand, learnt Malgasy words so we can say hello to locals, been on canal ride, visited fishing villages and so much more. Madagscar is beautiful and the landscape ever changing!! The poverty is rather shocking and sad so I would suggest bringing things to give out to people such as colouring pencils, paper, clothes and soap. If you want a safe but fun trip in Madagascar book with Joanna! (Most hotels we've stayed in provide hot water and wifi)

I am in the same group, and would just like to emphasise how great the trip has been! I was the one who organised our trip, and as five students in our early twenties we were of course very cautious when it came to trusting people and spending too much money. However, Johanna was recommended to us very enthusiastically by a fellow young traveller and it's been better than we could have ever imagined! She more than kept up with all my questions, queries and demands via email in the months leading up to the trip and created a wonderful, varied itinerary from my very uninspiring "we just want to see some of Madagascar in 16 days!" The hotels have way surpassed our expectations and every effort has been made to make sure we feel safe and in-the-know no matter where we go or what we do. Biggest shout out goes to our driver Besson, an incredibly kind, understanding and welcoming man who has gone above and beyond to be our driver, guide and friend during this trip - if you find him in the driver's seat you're guaranteed a brilliant trip!

I promise you it's not. Joanna just asked us, if we were enjoying the trip, to write a few reviews on TripAdvisor recommending the company. We made the perhaps unfortunate decision to all post at the same time (so we didn't forget) but all I can do is tell you that it is legitimate! No way to absolutely prove it, but if you look at the Facebook page (Tovohery Lova Emadisson) you will probably see a picture of all five of us go up over the next few weeks.... I hope our advice can be of some help, and I'm sorry it appeared misleading!

With our 10 years of existence and experience in tourism, it's just and normal that we have clients from different nationality.Our clients were satisfied with our services.As they write their satisfaction and impressions in different forums of travelers, not just this year but since since . You do have to type in google Lova Emadisson and you will see all our recommendations since .LOVA EMADISSON took the name of the society MADAGASCAR VISITE COMPANY ; Just the society took the name MADAGASCAR VISITE COMPANY,but Lova Emadisson and Johanna Emadisson has 10 years in the field of tourism. So we're not a company that been created this year

We also enjoyed our visit to Madagascar thanks to Joanna and the madagascar visite company -we toured 4 of us up to Diego Suarez last August 2015 ;and found the experience wonderful. - the driver was great and we made plans with Joanna before we left and all went smoothly during our week long tour of the North - we hope to use the company again and would highly recommend this company
