Tours to Madagascar from Almaty — an expedition to the world's fourth-largest island, home to lemurs and baobabs, where every landscape looks like a frame from another planet. Kz.Eurasiatravel arranges unforgettable journeys to Madagascar from Almaty with carefully planned logistics and unique itineraries.
Why choose Madagascar
- Unique nature — 90% of Madagascar's flora and fauna is found nowhere else on Earth. Lemurs, chameleons, baobabs, and tropical orchids — the island has been evolving in isolation for 88 million years.
- Avenue of the Baobabs — one of Africa's most recognizable landscapes. Giant baobabs over 800 years old line the road near Morondava, creating an otherworldly scene at sunset.
- Beaches and islands — Nosy Be island with turquoise lagoons, coral reefs, and whale sharks. Madagascar's snow-white beaches rival the Maldives, but with far fewer tourists.
- Visa on arrival — Kazakhstan citizens get a visa right at the Madagascar airport for ~30 USD; no advance documents required.
- Adventure tourism — trekking through the Tsingy stone forest, kayaking the rivers, whale watching, and night excursions to spot rare nocturnal lemurs.
Popular cities and resorts
Antananarivo
The capital of Madagascar on the island's central plateau, set on hills crowned by the Rova Palace and overlooking rice paddies. Colorful markets, French colonial architecture, and natural parks in the surrounding area. All international flights from Almaty arrive at Antananarivo airport.
Nosy Be
Madagascar's main beach resort — a tropical island off the northwest coast. Crystal-clear water, diving with turtles and whale sharks, and plantations of ylang-ylang and vanilla. From July to September, humpback whales can be observed off the shores of Nosy Be.
Morondava
A small town on the west coast — the gateway to the famous Avenue of the Baobabs and the Tsingy de Bemaraha stone forest. Sunset among giant baobabs is one of the most striking sights on the island. Morondava is a must-visit for travelers from Almaty.
Antsirabe
A mountain resort in the center of the island at 1,500 meters, founded by Norwegian missionaries. Cool climate, thermal springs, volcanic lakes, and gemstone-cutting workshops. Antsirabe is the "Vichy of Madagascar" with all the charm of the colonial era.
When to go
The best time to visit Madagascar is from April to November (the dry season). Coastal temperatures are +25...+30 °C, while in the mountains it's +15...+22 °C. Whale watching runs from July to September. The rainy season (December-March) makes travel on dirt roads difficult. The flight from Almaty to Madagascar takes about 16 hours with connections via Istanbul or Paris.

- Andasibe National Park — the closest forest to the capital, home to the indri — the largest lemur, whose haunting call carries for kilometers. Night excursions reveal mouse lemurs and chameleons.
- Isalo National Park — the "Madagascan Grand Canyon" with sandstone canyons, natural pools, caves, and endemic ring-tailed lemurs.
- Nosy Be Island — the underwater world of the coral reef, swimming with whale sharks, watching humpback whales, and evenings on the beach beneath a starry tropical sky.
