Madagascar is a big island that takes time to travel. When it comes to planning a trip in Madagascar, one of the key considerations is how to divide your time on the island.
To help with this process, we often divide the island into four regions and recommend spending around 10 -14 days in each.
This allows you to fully explore the unique attractions, natural beauty, and culture of each region without feeling rushed. However, based on your preferences, a region can be visited in shorter days.
Whether you're interested in the dense rainforests of the east, or the white sandy beaches of the southwest, there's something for everyone in Madagascar.
By dividing your time wisely and planning your tour carefully, you can make the most of your visit to our amazing island.
