Everything that was shown to me and described to me before the trip was exactly as it played out and I can humbly say that this trip exceeded my expectations. The guide we had was fantastic. He was not only knowledgeable with answers for every question and concern but his passion, pride, and love for his home was quite evident which made it easy to learn about Madagascar regarding the wildlife, the cities, the countryside, the people and everything else in between. Thank you for this experience and a special thanks to Toky, our guide who made this trip very special and to be quite honest, the best trip I have been fortunate to enjoy.

We loved this trip and Masoala with incredible wildlife sightings. Our guide, Felix, was amazing. We had no idea the food would be so excellent at the lodge. The evening campfire, while a small detail, was a very nice touch and helped form relationships among guests and staff.

Overall the trip was great, especially Tswalu. We'd love to travel again - NWS does a superior job organising and detailing our trips and the logistics required. I highly value their expertise and knowledge of adventure travel locations.

David was excellent and was very professional and courteous to communicate with. My trip to Madagascar was wonderful and easily a 10/10 experience. I enjoyed the landscapes and wildlife and our guide Toky went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip - he even included extra night walks that weren't included in the itinerary. NWS is clearly committed to delivering quality trips with excellent guides and accommodations to beautiful destinations in the world.

We saw so many lemurs as mentioned in the itinerary and lots of other wildlife including chameleons! The tour was very well organised and we were treated with great accommodation. We felt safe and sure we were getting the best experience available in each location.

Simply amazed. We had unrealistic expectations for this "adventure" but they were nevertheless exceeded. In almost every instance where it could have gone south...it went NORTH! All in my travel group were impressed by the superior service and experiences that were a direct result of our NWS itinerary. This experience set the bar. We don't know how any other service could exceed it for the things we like to do.

David was excellent in crafting a short safari that met the special requirements of our group, giving us a wonderful variety of wildlife experiences in eastern Madagascar. NWS were appropriately realistic in describing the resource challenges in the country, but nonetheless we enjoyed very comfortable accommodations, very good food and superb local guides throughout the week. Great service from NWS HQ and the high-quality local partners who provide the experiences.

NWS were really helpful and efficient, especially seeing that I was not in the UK and it was all done by email. Our guide Njiva was excellent and his wildlife knowledge is spot on. Barry at Andasibe/Mantadia was a star, finding collared nightjars and holding my hand to help me negotiate tricky areas. We may not have seen many different species of lemur, but what we did see was very special, and the chameleons were amazing. From the suggestions for the itinerary to the quality of the guiding and the smooth running of the whole enterprise – thank you for a wonderful trip.

Madagascar is a fascinating but very difficult place to travel to. NWS worked with me to put together a really interesting itinerary. Lodges ranged from good to superb. Local guides were excellent. Tough place to travel. Glad I had their help.

Our Destination Specialist at NWS, Oliver, was wonderful – very responsive, patient and generally very helpful. I hope to work with him again on another trip! I don’t have the vocabulary large enough to explain how much we loved our guides, specifically Val and our driver Fina, who were beyond incredible! We would love to travel with NWS again because the whole trip was incredibly smooth and well organised, plus we encountered incredible wildlife and unforgettable people.

David was super helpful and provided outstanding service in planning our safari from start to finish! Our guides were knowledgeable and insightful throughout all our travels, and we felt safe at all times.

NWS staff were patient and accommodating, with an ability to cater to individual needs. Great customer service meant stress-free planning.

From the first contact with NWS to the end of the trip, everything was perfect. Harriet at NWS was always very responsive to my questions. The trip itself was awesome - the level of service was excellent and I didn't have to worry about a thing. All the pre-departure information was comprehensive and the lodgings were great. The guides were friendly, professional, informative and safety-conscious. I enjoyed seeing the different parks and experiencing the different landscapes of the country, and I learned a lot about the culture and history of Madagascar. I saw and did everything I wanted and more. I am so glad I booked with NWS - they really made my trip effortless!

Our guide Miahy and driver Ony from VA Tours were both exceptional (and good fun too). Also guide William in Mantadia.

The quality of the guides, well-arranged transfers, good vehicles and perfect choice of accommodations set us up for some great wildlife sightings! Everything went off perfectly and all the communications were timely and clear.

Our trip was amazing - we couldn't have had a better honeymoon. Madagascar and the people we met along the way were amazing. I'll fill out the online forms as well, but I wanted to say thank you for your help in creating our itinerary and making it a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation to celebrate our marriage!

Absolutely fabulous! I knew I had booked a great trip but I didn't realise how over-the-top special it was! Meeting our photography teachers Russ and Shannon was awesome; they're not only supremely talented but incredibly friendly and take extra care to make everyone feel included, welcome, and enjoy their trip. Such a lucky, lucky find.

We had a wonderful time in Madagascar. The trip was perfectly organised from the beginning to the end. Our guide had a deep knowledge about the culture and wildlife of Madagascar which made our tour perfect. It was really nice to see the lemurs in their natural habitat in Andasibe and Mandatia. We could get really close to the lemurs at Palmarium Reserve, and we could also see the aye-aye face to face. All the accommodations were really nice and the food and service was really good.

An amazing trip. On the whole, my experience of Madagascar – including my time with NWS – was fantastic, and I'm really glad I went. Pre-trip preparation and communication: excellent. I had a lot of questions via email and they were always answered promptly and fully. I really appreciated NWS's willingness to adapt my itinerary to include my own independent plans. Accommodation: very good; I was entirely happy with all three hotels. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and had great patience and fortitude for my passion for photographing wildlife. I liked Shannon and Russ very much and they were both very generous with their time and energy. To see so many lemurs and to have the opportunity to photograph them was great – the joy of such an experience is truly contagious!

We had a fantastic trip. Our guide, Njiva, took great care of us and really made our trip special. He made sure we saw everything we hoped to see (plus more) and he taught us so much about Madagascar. We not only got to see the amazing biodiversity of Madagascar, but also got to meet the wonderful Malagasy people and learned about the challenges the country faces. All of our accommodations were great. Our driver also did a great job. Three of us are photographers and spent a lot of extra time photographing the wildlife. Njiva and the national park guides were very patient with us and helped us get the shots we wanted. Our visit to Madagascar has changed our perception of the world. Thank you so much. We hope to return.

Excellent! Our night walks were always fascinating and we nearly always saw unusual animals – assorted chameleons, frogs and the memorable mouse lemur. The night excursion to see the aye-ayes was another unforgettable experience. Throughout, our guide Michel's experience, keen observational skills and knowledge enriched these experiences. We highly recommend Michel Andry through NWS as he was excellent and highly responsive to clients with lots of questions and diverse interests. He often went out of the way to accommodate our expanding interests and questions. Occasionally local tours went longer than expected because of our interests or because of the richness and diversity of the wildlife available and we greatly appreciated the flexibility we had to take advantage of the opportunities.

This was our first time planning a trip to Madagascar and Will Bolsover made everything very simple. Our main guide was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and very efficient in ensuring our trip went smoothly.

We would like to particularly mention Maxi, our guide at Isalo. He was extremely knowledgeable about both the wildlife and local people, spoke excellent english, was enthusiastic, friendly and very good company on our trek. The highlight was definitely the wildlife, particularly Verreax's sifaka at Isalo and some beautiful black and white moths in the hotel garden at the beach.

In the afterglow of our return I can't think of anything [improvements]. The personal touches from start to finish were impressive. Your service did not feel tailor made for one and all but certainly felt tailor made for and to US. Thank you

Oliver, our Destination Specialist, responded promptly with the time difference between the UK and the US. He was also easy to speak with over the phone, and discussing the overall travel budget with him was comfortable and not stressful. Working with Oliver in combination with researching all the social media content helped us determine that NWS was a creditable company with whom we wanted to work. There was a good amount of flexibility in our itinerary and the local guides were knowledgeable, which made the locations enjoyable.

Toky Andriamora was superb. He made our trip. Very competent ornithologist. English excellent. Very caring. New everyone. His local guides, Zarka at Antisibe and Stefan at Ranomafana were excellent with good English Anjajavy Hotel was of course excellent, wildlife there was superb and beyond our expectations.

Tsu (spelling?) [our guide] in Madagascar was truly brilliant - he was friendly, knowledgeable and always organised everything perfectly! Couldn't praise him highly enough!

Lemurs and lemurs! I wanted to see as many varieties as could fit in. One of the things we enjoyed most was the great combination of being able to search for and see lemurs in the wild (and hear the Indri call), but also to be able to then get up close and interact with them though the private reserves (Palmarium and Vakona).

Just a note to let you know what a GRAND trip we had. All lodging facilities were outstanding, but I must admit, Isalo was amazing!!! The staff need to be praised for their attention to detail, their interest in their clients and their kindness and generosity toward the clients and the local citizens. Our trip was a trip of a lifetime and one that will be in our hearts and minds for years to come.

Can't praise [NWS] highly enough! They were always friendly and extremely helpful, especially when we had to cancel our trip at short notice and re-book it again for this year. Elysee our guide for the 1st week in Masoala was outstanding. Excellent at finding the wildlife on both day and night walks, and his enthusiasm and knowledge made him a joy to be with.

I would like to thank you for all the extra work you did behind the scenes whilst we were in Madagascar to ensure that our holiday ran as smoothly as possible; it was very much appreciated.

We greatly enjoyed our trip. Our arrangements in Mauritius were good and Lakaz Chamarel was great! Everything went well in Réunion and we greatly enjoyed the helicopter trip. Madagascar was great, particularly our guide Njiva who accompanied us on our road trip from Tana to Andasibe, Ranomafana and down through Isalo to Tulear. Definitely impressed by him. He went out of his way to make our trip very successful. Air Madagascar did not prove problematical at all - in fact we took off 20 minutes early one flight. Charter flights were good. We loved most of the accommodation here – Masaola Forest Lodge, Anakao Ocean Lodge and Anjajavay were excellent!

I enjoyed the proximity to the wildlife and what I saw........ also that there was a guide at all times with me. I was nervous travelling but World Primate Safaris (Natural World Safaris) made sure I was taken care of every step of the way Thank you

I think it would be difficult for you to improve on perfection! What can I say? It was a truly wonderful and memorable experience, and from being met by our guide Njiva at Antananarivo Airport to our departure we felt we had nothing to worry about, everything was taken care of for us.

This was the best trip we’ve ever had. The parks were amazing. All of the properties you organised for us were terrific. The local guides were incredible. We saw other tours with guides that wouldn’t hold a candle to the ones we travelled with. We were so grateful for the guides we had and the experience they created for us. They made the trip and the experience special and we’re both incredibly grateful. It was all so fun!

It was amazing and everything worked like clockwork. We were totally happy with your holiday package and service.

NWS have a 3/3 track record of setting the right expectations and then delivering to what's promised. Very impressive for wildlife holidays.

Wonderful experience. All arrangements were handled seamlessly – difficult to do on a two-month journey!

The organisation of the trip by NWS and their local partners was excellent and very professional. All transport, hotels, transfers, etc. went well, very smoothly, with very good and reliable drivers in great and comfortable cars. Also the Vamoos app was excellent! Travelling with NWS was great, lovely and friendly people to be in touch with and plan your journey!

Overall, our journey was excellent. There are so many things to learn when travelling so far from home to a foreign country. There was a lot of car time due to our budget and time constraints, but our Natural World Safaris Destination Specialist and our assigned guide did a great job of making the best of our time. We saw everything we had planned to see and more. We would plan a trip to this destination again and with this company – great help from Destination Specialist, great choice of guide, overall good customer service.

Trip went well. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful in every way. Our driver was also both a good driver and pleasant company. We felt we saw almost everything there was to see! Certainly plenty of lemurs of all species. There was good balance between rainforest and more open country, and the final couple of days on the coast were a pleasant change. We greatly enjoyed seeing things being done (e.g. aluminium casting, blacksmithing, walking round a town, etc.). There was a good mixture of places to stay.

It was wonderful. NWS is a class operation. The service and guides were terrific.

This was an excellent trip. The itinerary was varied. The tour director/guide (Mya) was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Transportation was comfortable and accommodations and food were of high quality overall. I was very pleased with the way your staff dealt with our missed plane connection and the need to get us to our first safari destination.

Fantastic - it could not have gone better. We were so well catered for and it delivered everything it said it would. The whole experience, from working with Oliver on the details of the the trip to the actual trip itself with Nzato, was great.

All of the accommodations were great and the service was amazing. The guides can make or break a trip, but we had guides that were informative, friendly and loved their jobs. We spent a lot of time in Madagascar on our patio, enjoying the lemurs and other animals that came around, and we saw every species imaginable in Kenya (including the Big Five within 24 hours). Also, our Destination Specialist (Oliver) was the best! He answered all of our questions and was always available. The logistical arrangements were fantastic and everything worked like clockwork.

Excellent and met all expectations.

Very satisfying, good variety in landscapes and habitats. Some really nice and diverse accommodations.
