Budget tours in Madagascar cost between $150-264 per day. Tour operators like G Adventures price their Highlights of Madagascar tour at $243 daily, covering basics like lodging, transport between sites, and select meals.
Which areas in Madagascar offer the best value for wildlife viewing on a budget?
Andasibe and Mantadia National Parks give excellent wildlife spotting opportunities for the entrance fee paid, with high chances to see multiple lemur species, including the indri indri. The Palmarium Reserve is another good choice, home to seven lemur species in one location.
How much should I budget for meals not included in the tour price?
Plan for $20-30 per day for meals not in the tour package. While breakfast usually comes with the tour, lunch and dinner are extra. Local eateries in Antananarivo serve meals for $5-10 per person.
What transportation options are included in budget tours?
Budget tours typically provide air-conditioned private vehicles for longer trips. Companies like G Adventures use minivans or buses for group travel, sometimes mixing in local transport options to balance comfort with cost.
What's the best way to handle money on a budget tour in Madagascar?
Bring euros or US dollars to exchange into local currency (Ariary). While ATMs exist in big cities, they're not always reliable in smaller towns. Hotels and restaurants in Antananarivo's tourist areas take major currencies, but local money works best for daily spending.
