Birding Madagascar, it is a quite simply and unique. Madagascar's uniqueness is legendary and this is well reflected in its birds, which make Madagascar an essential destination for anyone attempting to see all of the world's bird families. Birding Madagascar is, quite simply, a birding experience like no other on Earth! Madagascar is country to challenge even the most independent of birders. One way to see the numerous avian endemics is on a commercial birding tour, and many visitors choose for this hassle-free option. Our tours are designed to visit a wide range of Madagascar’s habitats, with enough time in each to seek out the special endemic birds, lemurs, tenrecs, chameleons, and other weird and wonderful creatures. To see the bulk of Madagascar's birds, you'll need to visit at least 1 site in each of the island's 3 chief climatic/floristic zones: eastern rainforest, southern spiny bush and western tropical deciduous forest. Each of these holds its own complement of endemics. In addition, a select band of birds is dependent on the island's dwindling wetlands, so be sure to include certain more accessible marshes, lakes and estuaries in your itinerary. During a stay of 2-3 weeks, you should be able to tick off most of the sought-after lifers, as well as a remarkable array of mammals, reptiles, frogs, invertebrates and the fascinating flora. When to go: Birders tend to visit in the Malagasy spring and early summer, that is from the very end of August to December. In the winter months (May - mid August); the rainforests can be very quiet and many sought-after endemics extremely furtive. Also, in winter some of the more spectacular endemics like asitys, will be out of their impressive breeding regalia. Because lodges and hotels are fairly small at most of the birding venues, it is sensible to plan your trip fairly long in advance, to avoid disappointment. November is the best season for seeing Madagascar’s wildlife, as breeding activity begins immediately prior to the rains, which begin in the latter part of the month. Birding here at times can be delightful, while at other times it can be a bit challenging, but the rewards are very high. Click here to get a checklist for Madagascar. This country account for Madagascar serves to provide birders with up to date information about birds and birding in the area. While the information provided has been sourced from a variety of reliable resources the aim is such that this document is dynamic in that birders who have recently visited the region can add their own accounts and contributions. We therefore encourage birders to email new information to birding@ndaoitravel.com

This tour is designated for those who really are keen on birds and adventures. The North-West is good for serious birders who may have already done the basics of Madagascar; the standard Madagascar trips that most birding companies do allow one to see perhaps 80 % of the endemics given almost a month, but visits to more remote sites is needed to “get” the others. The trip, however, is quite strenuous and the camping fairly basic. But the birds available soon make one forget about the lack of common luxuries.
