Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

    This trip was an amazing experience all round- our guide Salohi was really hardworking and made a huge affront to keep us all happy, great to have a female guide too. The highlights for me were the Tsingys, the Baobab Avenue and the night walk where we saw many chameleons and a mouse lemur. The roads are bad but that is not the fault of the

    Long days of driving on bad roads, from breakfast till sunset. Not much activity in 10 days, we done less than 6 hours of walking. The guide Patric was polite and knowledgeable. Only saw lemurs for 2 minutes, underwhelming.

    The tour guide Patrick was outstanding. He went above and beyond his job. Always extremely helpful. He was not afraid to get his hands dirty when I needed him.. He took good care of his group and had a friendly and helpful attitude.

    Great trip. Good variety and packed a lot in in the 10 days. Couple of long drive days, but just sit back and enjoy the scenery passing you by. Recommend going to the local restaurant in Bekopaka, for the avid ones, if you need a break from the hotel. Excellent local food. Our guide, Bruno, did an impeccable job

    We toured with Patrick who was wonderful! Fully informed and super nice. We truly saw as much as we could see in the time we had. Unfortunately the roads are terrible in Madagascar (of no fault to Intrepid) which makes for long periods of travel time. They did their best with crappy roads to show us enough of the country to get a good idea of what it's about. I was a single travelling woman who felt safe and comfortable the whole time with a great group of people. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone. Just do research on the country before you go so you know what to expect in terms of comfort.

    Really enjoyed the tour. It was actually more luxurious than I was expecting. Bus rides are long but they do try to break them up with interesting stops. Branabus was a fantastic guide.
