5.0/5Soul of Madagascar is great agency. Reasonable price compare to other tour operators, very patient - as we were changing our routes a few times adding a new destination points, everything was done very well - a few times quality of the hotels exceeded our expectations. For 18-days safari it wasn't even one failure. Very good guide - Eric Zozo - he shared a lot of info, always helpful. We felt very well taken care of. Also, what is very important on very difficult Madagascar roads - very good drivers. I will always recommend this travel agency.

We asked for an organised tour and everything went very smooth and the answers to our questions came immediately. We only had to transfer some money in advance to Madagaskar and we brought the rest in cash. The tour guide spoke a very good English and was always very informative and helpful. We had a wonderful time without worrying where to stay or how to get there. Don't underestimate distances because the roads are sometimes not very well maintained.

Couldn't have picked a better tour company for our first trip to Madagascar! The communication was quick, clear, and consistent. The accomodations were stellar and the places we saw with local guides were exactly what we've been dreaming of. Such a professional company that left us so happy we went with them!

We had an amazing 5 day tour of Madagascar, thanks to the well organised itinerary done by Soul of Madagascar (Theresia). It was really maximised so we had experienced most of the highlights of Madagascar, from seeing the lemurs,Baobab avenue, baobab forrest, love baobab, sacred baobab, experiencing sunset at the baobab avenue and going up & down the Greater Tsingy at Bermahara. Wonderful, amazing experience, thanks to our guide Gervo & our driver Jilio👍 for ensuring our safety too.
