The best travel in my life
I’ve communicated with Theresia from Soul of Madagascar Tours and always gave me quick and clear response. It was great help for us before travel.
During the trip, tour guide and driver are everyone professional and perfect time management.
We had 7 days trip this time but definitely I would like to come back to Madagascar with Soul of Madagascar tour and explore more adventure!

Reliable and Professional Tour Operator
I recently took a 13-day private tour with Soul of Madagascar in April 2024, after hearing positive reviews online about their guide and founder, Enock. He was very helpful and quickly responsive in planning our trip itinerary with private car for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, Mr. Enock passed away before our arrival and we were uncertain as to what would become of our trip. Despite this unforeseen tragedy, Soul of Madagascar maintained good professionalism and reached out to us multiple times to assure us that our trip would still be possible with some reorganization. We arrived in Antananarivo and were served by Mr. Anjara as our new guide and Mr. Rivo as our driver. The services these two provided were exceptional and every care was made to ensure that we were both safe and satisfied. SOM booked fine accommodations/lodges for us, as well as set up a fantastic Tsiribihina River cruise with an amazing boat crew. Special thanks to the boat chef of La Sirene, based in Masiakampy, who prepared restaurant quality meals all from a small boat kitchen! We did receive a flat tire on one section of the trip, which is expected from such long drives on Madagascar's difficult roads, but this was quickly resolved. My only suggestion is that the cars which are contracted by SOM be inspected and serviced regularly to make sure they are in good working order, and that the repair kits in the cars have the necessary tools. Aside from this, our itinerary that also included Alley des Baobabs and Ranomafana National Park was carried out without any problems. I would also like to thank SOM for working around our schedule and for providing us with airport transfer two days after our itinerary finished. I would recommend SOM Tours to anyone looking for a reliable agency, since traveling independently in Madagascar can be extremely complicated and stressful. Thank you!

GREAT EXPERIENCE, BEST ORGANIZATION by Soul of Magascar and Enock!! Professionalism and friendliness
Enock has been a great guide, accurate and very attentive to our needs and safety but more and more a great travel partner! We really appreciated he joined us in every activities, during the trekking on the forests, visiting the villages and the towns.
We stayed in best quality hotels and Enock checked for us the cleaning of the rooms.
We visited Madagascar also for photography, so our travel has been organized to visit a lot of natural reserves, national parks and also a lot of tipical ethnic villages and town markets
Last step of our travel we had relax and snorkeling at Ifaty beach leisure where we have enjoyed the best sunsets ever seen
I will come back for sure in Madagascar, organizing with Enock and Souls of Madagascar Travels :)

Enock and Soul of Madagascar Tour is THE BEST!!!
We used Enock with Soul of Madagascar tours.. Enock was a really great guide. He was proactive, fun, knowledgeable and patient. We have an 87-year-old and my 11-year-old daughter with us and he was kind and help them both when he needed it. He was so easy to get in touch with and kept in contact with me constantly. Everything he chose for us to do was on point and I would choose Enock again in a moments notice!

Dream Holiday
sept. 2018 • En couple
From the moment that Enock picked us up from the hotel in Tana we knew that we would enjoy our trip. He made sure that we got the most out of the holiday. Excellent English. Always there when you wanted him but not in your way. He listened to your requests and made them happen. Nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend him whole heartedly as your guide for Madagascar

Great Lemur Viewing Trip
Planning a trip to Madagascar can be daunting, but Theresia, our guide Michael, and driver, Ambinintsoa, provided a level of attentiveness that truly stands out. Having traveled to over 50 countries, I was incredibly impressed by their care.
Before we arrived, Theresia was highly responsive, which helped ease the stress of planning. Once on the ground, Ambinintsoa did everything he could to make the journey smooth.
Madagascar's road conditions are famously brutal, but he navigated the rough terrain carefully and always tried to park as close as possible to our stops to maximize our comfort.
Our guide, Michael, is excellent at what he does. He genuinely loves and respects local wildlife. We saw 13 different types of lemurs. He proactively coordinated with park rangers to track animals, communicated what we had already seen and what would be interesting to spot next and worked with the rangers to keep the more dominant species occupied so the shyer species could come closer. He also handles logistics well. When an unrelated tourist group delayed our boat, Michael stepped in to resolve the situation and get us moving.
Michael and Ambinintsoa also pay attention to small, personal details. When we mentioned wanting to try local lychees, which were out of season, they managed to treat us with fresh rambutan which were delicious.
The team also handles unexpected issues very professionally. On our final day, Ambinintsoa was called away to assist with a broken-down company vehicle. Even while managing that operational headache, Michael and Ambinintsoa made sure to arrange a substitute private airport transfer for us. They are a deeply dedicated team that genuinely cares about your experience. I can't recommend them enough!

Souls of Madagascar made our Madagascar trip unforgettable and completely stress free.
I spent my Christmas holidays in Madagascar and booked my trip with Souls of Madagascar, and I’m so glad I did. Everything was incredibly well organized, from the airport pick up to the transfers, drivers, tour guides, and accommodations. I visited Antananarivo, Andasibe, Morondava, and Kirindy, and every part of the journey felt safe and memorable.
A very special thanks goes to Theresia, who was always accommodating and easy to communicate with. Before deciding, I reached out to more than five tour companies, and Theresia stood out by a long mile. Her professionalism and kindness truly made a difference.
Madagascar is a country full of treasures and untapped potential, and Souls of Madagascar helped me experience it in the best possible way. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip here. Thank you for helping us create such unforgettable memories 🥰

Great!
I loved Soul Of Madagascar! It was easy to communicate with them, and got good answers, and updates. The drivers and the tour guide we got was so good! Pretty hotels that got booked, even on a budget. I have nothing bad to say about this company, they did a great job!

Choose Soul of Madagascar for an excellent tour
I booked our tour with Soul of Madagascar for the four of us. Theresia was my contact and organized everything. She was so efficient, always getting back to me quickly and providing excellent and thoughtful answers and recommendations, customizing our trip to fit what we were looking for. It made planning for our 14-day tour easy.
Our guide Joushia is my all-time favorite tour guide. He loves nature and culture and was always there to explain and answer our questions. He watched out for anything we needed. And BTW his English is perfect and we hope to see him in the States soon 😄. Our driver Ambinintsoa has a difficult job navigating city traffic and potholed roads, but he’s a careful driver that makes you feel safe on the road.
The tour included hikes in national parks, lemurs and more lemurs, Baobabs, an unforgettable 3 day 2-night river trip with tent camping on the Tsiribihina (highly recommended), a four star restaurant that you need a ferry to get to, and a day trip with a conservation project village leader in the mangroves on the west coast. Our accommodations were all nice with excellent meals — we took the half board plan.
Overall I was really impressed with Madagascar. Many more people speak English more than I expected and they are wonderful people. The food was better I than expected too. Having traveled in 54 countries, I’m very happy to recommend this tour operator and staff— they are topnotch and live up to their name; will help you glimpse the “soul of Madagascar.”

I’d like to clone this tour operator for all my international travel!
I can’t imagine a better travel ambassador for Madagascar! Our 14-day adventure included a delightful mix of hotel accommodations, restaurants, jungle tours, wildlife sitings, cultural and historical education, shopping experiences, and even a 2-day riverboat ride with tent camping and a refreshing swim under a waterfall! Tour Guide Joushia was an invaluable resource along the way with his translation help, cultural knowledge, unflagging enthusiasm, and accommodation of our several schedule-change requests. Driver Ambinintsoa skillfully negotiated the rural roads and city congestion, and faithfully safeguarded our group and our belongings. I can’t imagine a more positive introduction to this beautiful island nation!
