EXCELLENT Based on 87 reviews Aleksandra K2025-02-22Verified 100% recommend! Manitra made my trip to Madagascar unforgettable. He was always ready to adjust our plans to match my interests, ensuring I had the best experience possible. His deep knowledge of the country and genuine care made me feel safe, comfortable, and fully immersed in Madagascar’s beauty. If you're looking for a guide who is both professional and passionate, Manitra is the best choice. I highly recommend MER for an incredible adventure! Sandbach532024-12-15Verified Best 21 days: Could not take the grin off my face Fantastic 21 days in some beautiful parts of this extraordinary country. Everyone and everything involved were the best. Guides went the extra mile and our driver Mika is the best! Heather C2024-12-06Verified Great way to experience this amazing country Manitra’s Madagascar Endemics & Resorts was an excellent way to experience Madagascar. Madagascar is an amazing and difficult place to travel. The people are fantastic and the natural wonders stunning, but the travel is difficult and the poverty is saddening. I worked with Manitra to customize a two and a half week trip, hitting the Tana area and the parks at Adnasibe as well as the southwest area including Toliara and Isalo. We saw lemurs, chameleons, baobabs, and lots of birds. The quality of the resorts/hotels and the food was excellent. When we had some travel emergencies (last minute flight cancellations/delays), Manitra worked hard to make last minute changes to adjust schedules, moving things around to compensate. We had excellent, caring, excited guides and drivers to take us around and answer all our questions. Melissa2024-11-29Verified Amazing wildlife adventure!!! We have recently returned from our 3 week adventure in Madagascar and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously!! All thanks to Manitra and his entire team that made the whole trip smooth, easy and more comfortable than we have ever expected. We could tell that Manitra especially curated the accommodations and gave us the best options in each location :) Our trip was wildlife + herp focused and covered the following national parks - Andasibe, Ranomafana, Ankarafantsika, Amber Mountain, Ankarana, Lokobe. Manitra arranged absolutely the best local guides and wildlife spotters for us. Wildlife sightings were FREQUENT and ABUNDANT which is more than what we could have asked for. Manitra was very reliable from the get go, very prompt and detailed replies. Super happy and grateful to have booked our trip with Mermadagascar :) Carol S2024-11-07Verified Amazing Everything about our trip to Madagascar was amazing but best of all was our guide Manitra of MER Madagascar So nice to be so well taken care of and get a real taste of the country Both its endemic species, people and culture! howard09282024-11-07Verified Excellent tour operator in Madagascar MER tours was an excellent operator. In a country where getting around can be very difficult and just knowing airline schedules is a chore MER made everything run as smoothly as possible. They were always punctual handled every issue that came up promptly and efficiently. Guides were great spoke great English and French. Stayed at great lodges all with excellent clean , sanitary and tasty food. Highly recommend MLJ2024-10-03Verified Very accommodating - great for a customized itinerary Highly recommend! We had several recommendations for tour guides from an online travel group. We ended up picking MER because Manitra was the most attentive to trying to build us an itinerary that included everything we had asked for. And he was very good at getting back to us in a timely manner. He was ver accommodating and tried to build us the best itinerary he could given our time and budget constraints.Manitra did warn us that a lot of time was needed to see all the various places, due to the poor road conditions. Word of warning! The roads are SO SO SO much worse than we imagined they would be. He warned us, but we had no idea roads could be that bad. Bring your back brace, compression socks, and seasick medication!!!During our trip we faced some challenges due to Air Madagascar’s unreliable schedule. MER did an excellent job changing our itinerary and hotels last minute to accommodate these issues. He made sure we got the most out of trip. We thought he did a fantastic job dealing with these challenges. We were very glad we went with his company, as he handled all these changes for us, so we didn’t have to worry. That made a huge difference in the quality of our trip! Marissa S2024-10-03Verified MER is the best! Manitra is the absolute BEST tour guide operator! While he arranged my trip with my friend, he was not our personal guide, and had his local guides take care of us in the different places we went. Despite that, if we had any questions during our trip, and we had lots, he was always fast to respond and accommodate us. Things in Madagascar change frequently, and even our guides say communication can be an issue here. Manitra was always on top of it and took care of everything, always making sure we had the best time on our trip. I would give him more stars if it were possible, he truly cares about his clients and their enjoyment and happiness while here. I can't recommend him enough, definitely go with MER for travels in Madagascar! Tiffany T2024-09-11Verified Trip of a lifetime We had THE most amazing time while we were in Madagascar, and it was all because of Manitra and his team at MER. We only had 1 week to see as much as we could, so we had some very specific requests going into it and very little time. But Manitra made it ALL happen! And even when we encountered a flight cancellation, he quickly made alternatve plans for us to ensure that our tour was a success. You definitely want Manitra and MER on your side when in Madagascar. They are quick, organized, reliable, and will give you peace of mind. So your only job is then to sit back and enjoy. Leah N2024-09-08Verified My favorite trip yet This trip exceeded all of my expectations. I had not done much research on Madagascar prior to exploring it and all I can say is wow. Compared to other countries, Madagascar may seem small, but despite lacking in size, the diversity is astounding. We only explored a small part of the country, but each place we went to was vastly different from the last in so many ways. Mant and his team were not only professional and accommodating, but kind and truly cared about their country, and making sure it leaves a lasting impact on all of those who are fortunate enough to travel in it. We experienced minor hiccups throughout the trip due to airlines making last minute changes, but Mant worked tirelessly to make sure this wouldn’t negatively impact our trip and always had a new surprise waiting for us (crocodile farm!!). I cannot recommend Mant and his team enough, nor the country of Madagascar. I will surely be back to explore country again, but I am most looking forward to seeing Mant again.
