Explore the Wild Beauty of Madagascar - Island with amazing endemic birds and wildlife

Discover the Wonders of Bird Watching

ABOUT MADAGASCAR
Madagascar is famous for its unique range of birds (203 species in total) and wildlife which includes lemurs, chameleons, tenrecs, leaf geckos and much else. A ridge of mountains runs down the Eastern side; the Eastern side of the mountains being green and forested, the Western side being dry with grasslands and areas of specialised “Spiny Forest”.  The Nature and wildlife is very different between East and West.  There are many dedicated areas of conservation in National Parks and Reserves.

About Us

ABOUT US: We are a tour operator based in Maroantsetra in the North-East of Madagascar. We have more than 20 years’ experience in guiding through the varying forest and hilly terrains of the area. We are permanently working in the field, so we have the latest knowledge and updates on the locations of wildlife in the area. Therefore, we can be sure to take you to the best sites to spot the birds in Masoala.
It is our policy to ensure that every birding holiday we create contributes positively to bird conservation efforts and local communities.  This is ensured by contributing a minimum of ten percent of our profits to conservation and local communities. We are passionate about birding and also about leaving a legacy genuinely helping people and conserving bird-life for future generations.

PLACES TO VISIT

Madagascar is 1600 km from top to bottom and 580km wide.  The coasts are studded with unpopulated sandy beaches, river estuaries and exotic islands.  Most of the Reserves and National Parks are on the coastal plains - East, South and West.  The central highlands have mountains up to 2000 metres and the climate is cooler and moist. The Western coastal area contains the famous Avenue of Baobabs and areas of the amazing razor-edged Tsingy rock formations. The Masoala peninsula on the North East coast is an area of dense and remote forest richly populated with exotic endemic bird and animal species.  We lead tours in many areas of the island, each with different geographical and natural characteristics.

Testimonials

 “We have just returned from a week of nature observation in North East Madagascar: Masoala, Makira and Nosy Mangabe. We met Joseph Raveloson, a guide who is truly passionate about nature. He is highly skilled in both ornithology, and observation of nature with emphasis on lemurs and chameleons. He shared his culture with us and told us fascinating stories about the people of his region. We spent an unforgettable week in his company in stunning and pristine locations. Nous rentrons d’une semaine d’observations dans le nord-est de Madagascar : Masoala, Makira et Nosy Mangabe. Nous avons rencontré en Joseph Raveloson un guide vraiment amoureux de la nature. Il est très compétent tant pour l’ornithologie, que pour l’observation des lémuriens et des caméléons. Il nous parle de sa culture et nous raconte des histoires fascinantes sur les habitants de sa région. Nous avons vécu en sa compagnie une semaine inoubliable dans des lieux superbes et préserves. ‘’ Pablo Perez Saura et Sabine Renier Novembres 2025

 My wife and I had an amazing time on the bird watching tour in Madagascar. The guide Joseph was extremely knowledgeable of the birds and wildlife. His ability to spot incredibly difficult creatures hiding in the trees was extraordinary. He helped us spot some rare bird species together with a selection of lemurs and chameleons. We give him out strongest recommendation.
