Madagascar Holidays
A paradise with a mysterious past. Beyond its glorious collection of wildlife – think chameleons, lemurs and whales – we can open up a treasure trove of culture, music, superstitions and pirate folklore for you.
Home to a natural world as magical and diverse as the people, Madagascar is a confusing, fascinating and exciting country.
Here, chameleons change colour in front of your eyes, lemurs dance through treetops, baobabs loom over paddy fields and whales calve off white beaches. And amongst this wealth of natural beauty hide pirates’ tombs, celebrations of the dead and whispered superstitions.

Before joining Steppes Travel over 25 years ago, I spent a decade working as a ranger, guide and lodge manager across Southern and East Africa. It’s also deeply personal place for me: I got married in Africa, honeymooned in Africa and still return every year with my family – proof that my love for the continent runs far deeper than just professional experience.

Having trekked through rainforests, searched for ancient tombs and been mistaken for a priest, I continue to travel the length and breadth of this beautiful, baffling country. Whilst many people consider Madagascar a wildlife destination, I find the culture and landscapes just as captivating.
