Exciting News! Join me on a Madagascar Tour

It's a country with wild rainforests, red-earth landscapes and lots of lemurs! Madagascar is a place that I have always wanted to go, and next year, I’ll finally be living that dream... and you can join me!

In September 2026, I’ll be hosting a private small-group tour through Madagascar, an island that feels like a world all its own. We’ll begin in the capital, Antananarivo, a city brimming with colour and culture, before heading east to Andasibe to meet the famous indri lemurs in their natural habitat. 

From there, we’ll travel south to Ranomafana National Park, home to rare wildlife and misty forest trails, and then on to Isalo National Park, where the sandstone cliffs and hidden pools make for some of the most breathtaking hikes on the island. And because every adventure needs a little relaxation, we’ll finish our journey in Ifaty, a peaceful fishing village by the sea, the perfect spot to unwind after days of discovery.

This 11-day adventure combines wildlife, culture, and connection. You’ll meet local tribes, explore bustling markets, and share laughter and stories with like-minded travellers who share your passion for exploring the world consciously.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience somewhere truly unique, a place that feels untouched and full of life, this is it. Madagascar isn’t just a destination; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime journey that opens your eyes to the beauty and diversity of our planet.

👉 Join me in Madagascar!​
Dates: 19th–29th September 2026
Land Only: USD 3299 (based on min. 10 pax) International flights aren't included. 
Single Supplement: USD 1099

Spaces are limited, so if your heart’s already racing a little reading this but you have lots of questions, I'm holding a webinar with my travel partner to answer all your questions and give much more detail on this amazing trip! Make sure to register below as the webinar has limited spots.

The webinar is on Tuesday 4th November at 8:30pm GST. 4:30 GMT. 12:30pm EST.
