Welcome to Tanalahorizon!



Tonga soa – Welcome to the heart of Madagascar! Together with my team, I would like to invite you to explore and get to know the biodiversity of Madagascar, the hospitable people and the extraordinary landscapes of this tropical island.

In 1995, I took part as an accompanying photographer on a research trip to the Fossa, Madagascar’s largest predator. Since then, the island never let go of me and I soon turned my passion into a profession: as a master of photographery and tour guide at the same time, I teach travellers on Madagascar the secrets of photographing chameleons, lemurs and baobabs.

What started 29 years ago with only two team members has now become the leading travel specialist for Madagascar under the name Tanalahorizon. Almost all of our team members live in Madagascar and have an excellent knowledge not only of the country and its people, but also of the island’s animals. We don’t need any subcontractors on Madagascar to carry out the trips for us – we do that ourselves. First-hand insider knowledge, photographic skills and experts in all areas of Madagascar’s wildlife are what set us apart and why we have so many regular and „repeating customers“ among our guests.

Let yourself be inspired by our pictures and trips – whether as a couple, with the whole family, with friends or on a group trip, we are sure to find the right thing for you. We would be happy to advise you personally on your individual dream travel to Madagascar. Call us at +49 (0)6723 8049404 or write us atinfo@tanalahorizon.com – we look forward to the trip of a lifetime with you!
