Affordable Madagascar Vacations

Madagascar doesn't have to be expensive

Here are our suggestions for relatively inexpensive Madagascar trips that includes all the wildlife and beach highlights

Madagascar offers incredible value for money, especially for travellers looking to explore somewhere truly unique without blowing the budget. While international flights can be on the higher side, once you’re on the ground, travel costs are relatively low and the experiences you’ll have here are hard to match anywhere else.

What makes Madagascar such good value is the sheer variety of landscapes and wildlife you can enjoy without needing high-end infrastructure. You’ll find small, locally run lodges and guesthouses in beautiful settings, offering comfort, character, and warm hospitality at a fraction of the cost of similar properties elsewhere in Africa.

Affordable doesn’t mean basic, either think forest lodges with home-cooked meals, simple beachfront bungalows, and guided walks with local experts who really know their patch. Many of the best experiences here don’t require luxury: lemur-spotting in the rainforest, exploring traditional villages, hiking through surreal landscapes, or relaxing on quiet, uncrowded beaches.

We build tailor-made holidays to suit a wide range of budgets, and we’re always happy to recommend routes and stays that keep costs sensible without compromising on experience. Madagascar is ideal for travellers who value authenticity, nature, and adventure – and who’d rather spend their money on memories than mod cons.

Our Madagascar specialist, Ruth, says:

"Madagascar proved to me that an unforgettable holiday doesn’t need to break the bank. I found secure hotels with modern amenities that offered great comfort without needing to overspend. It’s a fantastic, potentially more affordable, alternative to safaris on the African continent, still delivering real adventure without compromising on safety or unforgettable experiences."

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
