Family friendly adventures with added lemurs
Loveable lemurs, scrambles over rock formations, kayaking, hiking, camping and beaches. It's all here on a tailor made Madagascar family holiday.
Madagascar is an exceptional destination for family holidays, offering a blend of adventure, wildlife, and culture that captivates both adults and children alike. What makes Madagascar truly special for families is its unique biodiversity and opportunities for meaningful wildlife encounters. From the playful lemurs of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park to the curious chameleons and vibrant birdlife, children get a front-row seat to nature’s wonders that can’t be found anywhere else.
We love how Madagascar combines exciting exploration with a pace that suits families. Whether trekking through the rainforest, discovering the surreal landscapes of the Avenue of the Baobabs, or relaxing on pristine beaches near Nosy Be, there’s something for every age and interest. The island’s welcoming local communities also offer a chance for children to learn about Malagasy culture through storytelling, crafts, and traditional music.
Another highlight for families is the chance to experience conservation projects firsthand, teaching kids the importance of protecting the environment in a hands-on way. For a well-rounded family adventure, we recommend combining time in the wildlife-rich east with a few days by the coast to unwind and enjoy water activities.

Madagascar Trip Inspiration

Our Madagascar specialist, Ruth, says:
"Having travelled to Madagascar with my family, I found that it perfectly blends comfort and adventure. Staying in secure lodges with all the modern comforts we needed, we spent our days discovering lemurs, chameleons, and other wildlife, making every moment an exciting learning experience for all of us. Not to mention the beach days - I have a feeling snorkelling in the Indian Ocean near Nosy Be is something my kids with remember for a long time."
