Madagascar in October '24 (5 Viewers)

[LRP]

HI,

Am planning a month in Madagascar and looking for guides or fellow birders to share some of the birding with? If anyone else has similar plans or recommendations please share?
Thanks

Four of us did a trip of about 3 weeks with Andry Falimanantsoa of "Madagascar Tour Guide" and it turned out well, we pretty much cleaned up on the endemics and other targets. Andry added local tour guides at most of the sites. You can contact him at [email protected]

Thanks so much for this - I will do!

Please not that Helmet Vanga hasn't been seen outside of Masoala / Marojejy for over a year.
Both sites involve an internal flight and add to the expenses. Birding e.g. Masoala is no punishment though, with many good birds to be found next to Helmet Vanga.

I'm also planning a trip but it will be late 2025. Have made contact with Madagascar Tour Guide - impressed with speed and clarity of communication so far

If you need any info (especially on birds), shoot.

Thanks so much for responding . I’ve got a rough outline that I’m planning to look through . May I get back to you once I’ve had time to do a little more research with this lead so far ?

We're planning something similar. How much approximately did this set you back (just the tour and what it included)?

There is a new report on cloudbirders by Daniel Branch, that is probably worth checking out:

I can heartily recommend Linjo Johnarson as a guide.

She organized all the logistics for my tour; every site we visited has its own local expert guide—except for a few like the pratincole bridge where you use your own birding skills.
