Most caring, hospitable and professional operator I have dealt with.

I decided to travel to Madagascar suddenly. It was not in my this years plan. When I check Madagascar trip on the net saw lots of operators offering the tours. I got many quotations from the different operators Mai only reponded me on whatsapp though I was asking from other operators too. Finally I decided to go ahead with Mi travels. I asked her to revise my itinerary rwice. Without hesitation Mialy did it to make as per my request very quickly. And I never had any doubts the way She handle everything. And when we started the journey She has arranged everything in perfection. Everyday inquiring about the trip. I normally go around the world. This was one of the most memorable trips in my life. Only East and West Madagascar was completed. I will go back to complet north and south. I will choose Mi travels without hesitations. Guides for Eastern part Mihaji and Western part Hasina, both were very friendly and knowledgeable. Most importantly very supportive to our requests. I do wildlife photography as a hobby. This trip was a most memorable one. Mi travel gave us most comfortable , memorable , enjoyable trip in Madagascar. Thank you Mi travels.

Avenue of Baobabs

I booked a 5 day trip from Tana to the west coast specifically to see the Boabab trees, which were spectacular. It's a long one-day drive to get there on the national highway which can only be travelled by 4WD. The trip went smoothly. I was met at the airport and dropped off at my hotel, and it had been arranged to met someone to exchange foreign currency with. Mialy kept close tabs on how the trip was going and even arranged for sunscreen and repellent, which I didn't bring, to be available at the next stop. The driver was excellent and I felt safe throughout. The guide spoke adequate English and know the best spots for photos at the Allee des Boababs. It was all well planned and stress free. Guided tours like this are a must to explore the country, its too much to try on your own. I'd recommend Mi Travel to anyone planning to visit the Boababs. I was a bit wary sending the deposit via Western Union but Mad. doesn't have the same developed banking systems as you find in the west and I needn't have worried. All good and great service throughout.

The best experience from start to finish

Highly recommend Mi travel and am definitely going to use them again for my next trip and am recommending to all my friends..just a few of the reasons why below: I love solo travelling ( I do it 80+% of the time) so I originally thought to do a self-drive trip to Madagascar. When I started running out of time to plan, I inquired with different agencies about itinerary options and costs for driver/guide. Mialy from Mi travel was so responsive, friendly, patient, and a pleasure to work with. She customized every part of the itinerary to my liking (from activity level to costs, and places to stay- I recommend air conditioning!). On arrival, Mialy was there to welcome me and make sure I got situated with a local SIM, cash etc and then I was introduced to my two companions - Anjara and Jao, who would become like my brothers and great travel companions for the next 10 days. The two of them really made my trip so special, and 169% better than travelling alone. They were so fun, we looked out for each other and teased each other like good friends would, and I learned so much about so many aspects of Madagascar thanks to them. There were some long drives on not well-maintained roads to get to some of the most beautiful places, and they managed to even make the long driving days a relaxing, fun, and memorable part of the trip. I am so thankful to Mialy, Anjara and Jao for making my first (of hopefully many!) trips to their wonderful country such an amazing experience. PS I highly recommend having a driver and guide instead of self-driving if you want a bit more of a relaxing vacation - it’s driveable, but many of the roads are in not-great condition and there are long off road stretches where it’s only 1 car width for traffic in directions at times so even passing cars coming opposite you must be planned carefully ..
