I have used Nirina’s agency multiple times and can confidently say that his is the best agency to experience Madagascar. I reviewed on TripAdvisor for each of the trips but it looks like my reviews went missing for some odd reason.
Our first (10-day) trip in Madagascar was in April/May of 2018. We traveled a bit to the east and then far west to see the grand Tsingy, Avenue of Baobabs, and Morondava. It was the best first experience in Madagascar and it was thanks to Nirina and his crew (Niaina, Petit, and Tony). I absolutely loved the country, so canceled the rest of my travel and returned to Mada two more times.
Second (15-day) trip with Nirina’s agency was in September 2018 to the north (Diego Suarez, Nosy Be and surrounding islands). Traveling to the north wasn’t easy but Nirina’s crew (Niaina and Tony) made the trip enjoyable. The northern islands are unbelievably beautiful (especially Nosy Iranja), so it isn’t surprising that it’s more overrun with tourists.
Third shorter trip was to the eastern part of Madagascar in September 2019. While volunteering in Tana, I decided to do a quick trip to see an area I hadn’t before. Nirina was able to accommodate me on such short notice during their high season. The trip was wonderful as always, both the English-speaking guide (Niaina) and driver (Raoul) were great!
I hope to return to Madagascar once more to visit the Deep South and I will definitely travel with this agency again.
I highly recommend Nirina’s agency for a good overall experience in Madagascar.
