What Our
Travelers Say
If you wish to experience the uniqueness of the country, you can opt to stay in small hotels which are often located near the national parks, or the nearby towns which allow you good access to the local surroundings. Not only will you save some money, but it will allow you to enjoy the vibes of the regional people. This type of accommodation is equipped with a simple bed and a rustic, charming bathroom with hot water. If you have a larger budget, you can also opt to book luxury accommodations which come with a large bed, and an en suite bathroom with a private toilet. These hotels also often have swimming pools and massage services available to be utilized.
Our 16-day journey through Madagascar was truly one of the most unforgettable trips we have ever experienced.
The itinerary was exceptional, allowing us to discover the incredible diversity of Madagascar's landscapes, wildlife, and culture. From the magnificent Avenue of the Baobabs and the unique forests of Kirindy and Andasibe to the beautiful Palmarium Reserve, Ranomafana National Park, Isalo, and the southwest coast, every day brought new and unforgettable experiences.
What impressed us most was how perfectly everything was organized. Every transfer, domestic flight, accommodation, excursion, and activity was carefully planned and executed flawlessly. We never had to worry about logistics, which allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of this amazing journey.
The hotels were comfortable, the schedule was well balanced, and the entire trip ran smoothly from beginning to end. As senior travelers, we especially appreciated the thoughtful planning and attention to every detail.
Thank you for providing such a wonderful travel experience. We returned home with unforgettable memories, thousands of beautiful photographs, and a deep appreciation for the unique nature and culture of Madagascar.
We wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover one of the world's most extraordinary destinations.
We were fortunate to find Belaza's Gassitours tourist agency on a random search on the web. Belaza organized our 18-day tour of Madagascar. He planned our itinerary and adjusted it according to our needs and interests. He welcomed us at the Tana airport with his car and driver at 2 AM, and drove us to the Fouboulse hotel. In the morning, we explored Tana. The day after, we started our tour, which included the most important attractions in Madagascar. Balaza was with us most of the time; we always had local guides who were highly knowledgeable and dedicated, and the drivers were very helpful as well. The hotels Belaza booked. were of high quality. All those mentioned above led to the amazing tour we had.
We had a wonderful 10 day tour in the west and east of Madagascar, perfectly organized by Belaza from Gassitours. All went well and smoothly, and we are very thankful for his patience and efficiency, both prior and during the tour. We highly recommend!
