Who we are
A small, founder-led team based in Madagascar
Authentic Madagascar Tours was started in Antananarivo by people who'd been guiding visitors across the country for years. We design and lead tailor-made wildlife, adventure and beach journeys across Madagascar — slowly, honestly, and only at the pace we can keep our promises.

How we work
Three things that haven't changed since 2019
Walk it first
We don't sell a route until we've walked or ridden it ourselves — usually many times, in different seasons.
Stay small
Small groups, small companies, family-run guesthouses. We grow only as fast as we can keep that promise.
Be honest
Honest grades, honest weather, honest expectations. If a trip isn't right for you, we'll tell you.
Our story
Why we started Authentic Madagascar Tours
“We started Authentic Madagascar Tours because we wanted to share our country the way we experience it ourselves — slowly, with the right guides, and with the time to actually be in the places we send people. Twenty years later, we still send our team to walk each trip before we sell it.”
“Our team is Malagasy. Our lodges are locally run wherever the option exists. Our guides are people we’ve travelled with, eaten with and trusted in remote regions. That’s the whole company.”
— Hasina & Ravaka, founders

What our guests say
The best company out there!
Authentic Madagascar Tours were amazing. We were a group of friends who trekked the Tsingy de Bemaraha with them and ended on Nosy Be — every region was perfectly chosen and every guide knew their patch inside out.
Great experience in Madagascar.
The guide was absolutely fantastic. Hasina was present answering questions and not least telling us a lot about the local culture, the lemurs and the country itself.
Amazing trip
We relied on Authentic Madagascar Tours for a 14-day wildlife trip from Andasibe to Isalo and the south-west coast. They reshaped the itinerary three times to fit our pace and never made us feel like we were inconveniencing them.
