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 a great destination for active families who want to get out and explore, since all the activities are ‘out of the vehicle’ and focus on exploring the natural world up close and personal. When it comes to wildlife, Madagascar seems to have it all, including the lovable lemurs who you’ll find all over the country. Don’t miss a visit to Lemur Island where you can feed them bananas from a boat. The animals on Madagascar pose no threat to humans, so it’s safe to independently explore on foot with the family, unlike in many other African countries. Whale watching can also be included on a luxury Madagascar family tour.
For more active teenagers, there’s fund to be had scrambling around the unusual ‘tsingy’ rock formations using rope bridges and iron ladders, as well as hiking, camping and kayaking for a unique perspective of the island
There are numerous family-friendly hotels, some with pools which are perfect for cooling off in the hot afternoons. Or if you’re staying on the coast relaxing on some of the superb beaches, the shore-based snorkelling in many parts of the island is safe for children to splash around and have fun.
There are endless options to choose from, whether you want a fortnight of wildlife and interesting culture or you’re just looking to tick a few lemurs off the list before heading to relax on a beach. Either way, thanks to the incredible amount of unusual fauna and flora, the kids can’t say they have seen it before!
Have a look at the RN7 itinerary for a full-on two weeks exploring the South of the Island, or for less time on the road and more days at the beach, perhaps our Wildlife and Beach Express is the trip for you.

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."
