5.0/5Mr. Liva, from the agency Madagascar Mystery Tours, managed to offer us a fantastic tour, despite the challenging conditions (traveling up the Tsiribina River during flooding), and at a very reasonable price. The guide was very attentive to our comfort and was able to adapt whenever necessary. Thank you. (automatic translation from French)

We were very satisfied with our experience with Madasgacar Mystery Tour Operator. We greatly appreciated Liva's professionalism; she was able to offer us a highly successful, tailor-made experience while overcoming the logistical challenges of the excursion (traveling up the Tsiribihina River during the rainy season). I highly recommend them. (automatic translation from French)

How can I convince you to use Liva's invaluable services? I'd have to tell you about her professionalism, her dedication, her discoveries, and the meticulous attention she pays to preparing the excursions. I must also, and above all, commend the competence of her team. Laza and his loyal pirogue crew, who take care of everything. Safety and comfort... and what's more, he's a great cook, especially for our delicate Western stomachs 🥹 There's also the driver, Fina. Phew... well, on roads and tracks, he drives well, but that's almost beside the point. Calm, discreet, and considerate. Enjoy his anecdotes and his knowledge. Now I know the six species of Baobabs in Madagascar and I can even identify them 💪 There you have it. Everything has been said except the most important thing: I'm coming back next year! For the Tsingy, for the Tsibirinha, for Belo sur Mer, and because... my wife is jealous and wants to experience it all!! Thank you Liva (automatic translation from French)

We completed the Tsingy de Bemaraha circuit in 4 days with Madagascar Mystery Tour Operator, at the end of December 2025, with family (my wife, our two children) and with five friends. At this time, the condition of the tracks makes access very complicated. We had contacted several guides before, but almost all had refused the tour. Mr. Liva, CEO of the agency, was the only one to accept and he also acted as a guide throughout the stay. Despite tight timing and difficult conditions, the organization was excellent. His very good knowledge of the terrain, local actors and the Tsingy National Park of Bemaraha clearly facilitated the trip and made the experience even more enjoyable. An unforgettable journey, well supervised and human. Thanks to Monsieur Liva and Madagascar Mystery Tour Operator. We highly recommend this local tour operator. Pennot
