Internal Flights

Please note that this itinerary is prepared based on the days that flights operate, and not the exact times. While flight times are published far in advance, they are usually inaccurate and subject to change. Please note that flight schedules change on a regular basis and therefore changes to land itineraries can be made on very short notice. Should these changes necessitate an unexpected hotel overnight we commit to covering the cost on your behalf to the best of our abilities during your stay. However, we cannot be held responsible for missed international or national departures due to schedule changes in advance or last minute. 

Baggage Notes on Domestic flights

 Check-in luggage must adhere to a strict luggage policy and each passenger can only have 1 piece of checked-in luggage weighing a maximum of 20 kg (44lbs) and 1 piece of hand luggage weighing a maximum of 5 kg (11lbs). Be sure to use locks on all checked bags in Madagascar – petty theft is common in unlocked bags.

Madagascar’s rough roads

The roads between Fort Dauphin, Mandrare River Camp and Manafiafy are some of the roughest roads we have ever traveled anywhere in the world!  They were built in the 1970’s and have received little or no maintenance since. Potholes and washouts are de rigueur! We encourage you to consider bringing motion sickness aids if you are inclined. Speak up to your driver if you need to take a break and get some fresh air along the drive. There is also the option to avoid two of these drives by chartering a small plane – ask us about this.

Wood products in Madagascar

We encourage guests to abstain from purchasing wood products in Madagascar. Deforestation in Madagascar is a serious and ongoing problem and a direct threat to the survival of many endemic species of flora and fauna. By some estimates, over 90% of the original old-growth forests have been cut down on this island nation. Wood is commonly used for cooking, construction and handicrafts. Unsustainable timber harvesting and timber poaching in national parks and reserves is seen by impoverished locals as a way to make quick and easy money. Purchasing wood products only reinforces these practices. The international community has recognized the problem and restricted the export of rare hardwoods from the island (like rosewood, palisadre, and ebony) but these woods still show up in wood products sold at many tourist handicraft markets throughout the island. While some woods like Eucalyptus have made an appearance on the island and are marketed as a more sustainable and renewable source of wood, it’s nearly impossible to tell where most wood products come from and how they have been harvested when shopping in the craft markets. As such, we simply cannot condone the purchase of any wood products in Madagascar. Their sustainability cannot be verified and there is a great chance that their purchase supports practices that run counter to the conservation of Madagascar.
