Our way to travel in Madagascar

Be a traveler, not a tourist

.

With Tanalahorizon, you don’t travel to Madagascar as you do with other travel companies. We have cultivated a way of traveling that can meet our high desire for as many encounters as possible with a variety of wildlife and a very intense experience of Madagascar. Travel with us “the real Madagascar”!

It is especially important to us that you as a guest have plenty of time at each location to enjoy nature with all your senses. We do not want to rush from place to place, sprinting through the forest only an hour a day, always with an eye on a tightly packed schedule. With us, you are on vacation and can take all the time in the world, completely relaxed, whether it is to take pictures, to observe animals in the rainforest, to relax on the beach, or simply to pause. It is this peace and time that allows us to show you the highest possible number of unique animals of Madagascar.

Another important point for traveling with Tanalahorizon are well-trained guides and experienced specialists for each species. Our team can provide you with facts about almost every creature on the island, will love to explain how a lemur family lives together and which chameleon is the smallest and which the largest in the world. Tanalahorizon works exclusively with experts trained by ourselves and provides further education and training not only for our own team but also the people with whom we have been working successfully for years.

We also maintain close contact with the Malagasy – almost our entire team is Malagasy – and we are very careful not to support any master-and-servant tourism based on colonial times. We work with and for Malagasy and Madagascar, not as foreign white people who know everything better. Only with the appropriate respect for the many different Malagasy cultures, ancestral traditions, and taboos, an intensive, honest, and genuine experience of the red island and a mutual acquaintance is possible. Our trips are always profitable for both sides. Although it should be a matter of course nowadays, we would also like to emphasize that we attach great importance to nature-friendly travel.

Classic round trips

Experience the island’s most beautiful sides

Our round trips on Madagascar are suitable for all those who want to experience as many highlights of the island as possible in a single trip or who are visiting the eighth continent for the first time. They are also suitable for all travelers who have only limited time available and therefore do not want to dedicate their trip to a single theme. Each of our tours offers a colorful, perfectly coordinated cross-section of Madagascar’s diversity: immerse yourself in the culture of the Merina, Sakalava, or Betsileo. Experience Madagascar’s famous diversity of chameleons, get to know the different lemurs of the island up close, and relax on white dream beaches under palm trees. In short: A little bit of everything on one trip! To get to our classic round trips, click here.

Photo travels and safaris

Madagascar’s best motives

For 29 years we are especially specialized in photo trips in the “land where the pepper grows”. We know the country like the back of our hand, know about the most beautiful landscape motives, and how to find and photograph the different animal inhabitants of certain orchids. Our photo journeys usually revolve around a specific theme, to which we devote ourselves a little more and whose peculiarities we focus on in our photography. But this does not mean that we only photograph chameleons on a chameleon trip or that we do not look at any other animal on a lemur trip. Madagascar is so diverse that even a theme trip for ambitious photographers offers a wide variety of motifs. But not only advanced photographers, but also beginners in photography are welcome here. You will be accompanied on our photo trips by our trained master photographer, where you can also book a workshop. Taking pictures with a lot of fun while on holiday in Madagascar – these trips make it possible. To get to our photo trips and safaris, click here.

Themed photo travels

Your exclusive experience – more time, fewer people

Madagaskars biodiversity is incredibly large. However, the distribution area of some animal species is so special, small and remote that larger groups have little chance of seeing them. That’s why we offer exclusive themed photo tours with small groups of a maximum of four people plus a Tanalahorizon tour guide. Our exclusive themed photo tours are primarily dedicated to herping and birdwatching. This gives us the time and opportunity to photograph and observe rare animals at our leisure. We currently offer top-class ornithological trips and herpetological trips that are, without exaggeration, second to none. Do you have certain species that you really want to see at least once in your life? Then these are the trips for you (labelled “Exclusive trip: maximum four guests”). You can be sure that it will be the trip of a lifetime!.
