All our departures will be made up of Spanish-speaking travelers only, regardless of their nationality, and all information will be given exclusively in Spanish.

The order of the visits and excursions can be modified according to local constraints (air schedules, runway or road conditions, for example). If certain visits and/or excursions cannot be carried out for any reason beyond our control, we will try to substitute them whenever possible.

Due to the high demand during Easter, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and the months of August, September, October and November, please book as far in advance as possible as places are very limited.

 

CHARACTERISTICS OF OUR TRIPS

Our trips are designed from knowledge, we have been residents on the island for more than 18 years (2006-2024) and our team carries out more than 17 annual surveys throughout the geography of the island, to verify on the ground the state of parks, trails, hotels, new developments and discover new treasures that are still hidden in our island-continent and that for the moment we try to preserve until we have a policy of environmental protection. Our update is almost daily.

Any tour in Madagascar leaves room for the unexpected, hence we ask for your flexibility in approaching the trip as travelers and not as conventional tourists.

To participate in our trips, a minimum level of physical fitness is required, otherwise you will not be able to enjoy the parks, landscapes, or some of the animist villages farther away from the conventional routes.

Our adventure trips are not for everyone, they are participatory trips, in which you will not be made to row or wash your cutlery, for this we give employment to the local population, however, we want your passage through the island to cause the least possible impact, neither environmental nor social, that is where we ask for your collaboration.

The hotels are varied, from some 5* to simple lodges, depending on the hotel infrastructure. Adventure is not incompatible with comfort, we will never camp (free camping is prohibited in Madagascar, it is only possible in “authorized” places although they do not have any infrastructure similar to a campsite, no toilets or showers) if right next door we have a minimally correct accommodation and that our passage can benefit the local population. We always try to include the best hotels available, but sometimes we are forced to use simple lodges because the location does not have more hotel infrastructure or because it is located in an exceptional place that deserves the stay.

Madagascar does not have a tourist infrastructure like neighboring countries in their safaris, but that gives it the charm of an unspoiled and uncrowded country (150,000 tourists per year). We ask for an open spirit and large doses of patience to our travelers. That way you will enjoy your trip much more.

Un viaje extraordinario

Lo recomiendo totalmente, trato directo, claro y familiar Sylvia, Jaume y Sergi son encantadores.

Grupos reducidos y bien organizados.

Santa nuestro guía un crack.

Y Madagascar con sus lémures, sus baobabs, sus gentes y sus paisajes me robaron el corazón, no sé con cual quedarme.

Un sueño hecho realidad!!

Estamos con muchas ganas de volver y conocer más rincones de la isla. Y sin duda de la mano de Indigo Be!!!

Gracias a todo el equipo de profesionales de Indigo Be y ENHORABONAAAAAAA Jaume “per la feina ben feta”. Una abraçada !!!!!

Elisabeth Segui BAOBAB EXPEDITION
Isla única, sorprendente e inolvidable

Madagascar; suena a remoto, a película de dibujos y a animales imposibles. Es eso, y también un país-isla poco turístico que rezuma savia africana edulcorada con toques asiáticos.

Descender un río entre cañones de selva y dormir en sus playas protegidas de los cocodrilos; adentrarse en la selva y escuchar los sonidos de sus animales más característicos, los lémures; bucear entre peces tropicales con el sonido de fondo de las ballenas jorobadas; pasear al atardecer por una avenida plagada de baobabs gigantes; descubrir unas impresionantes formaciones rocosas con forma de miles de agujas; degustar su marisco aderezado con tintes de influencia francesa o, simplemente, pasear por una playa esperando la llegada de los pescadores. Todo eso es Madagascar.

Madagascar promete desconexión, aventura y exotismo…y con Indigo Be lo consigues!

Gracias por ser magníficos anfitriones de esa isla única, sorprendente e inolvidable.

Antonia Rubio BAOBAB EXPEDITION
Experiencias que me acompañarán de por vida

Entre junglas sombrías, profundos cañones de roca y páramos de arcilla roja, encontré  miradas y experiencias que me acompañarán de por vida. Y que mejor que de la mano de expertos locales como Indigo Be.
