Product Description
Tourism in Madagascar has leapt forward as a result of the cartoon film and media coverage of its culture and wildlife. The tourism infrastructure has been improved, with better roads and new luxury hotels, without compromising the focus on ecotourism. The world’s fourth largest island now appeals to a broad spectrum of visitors, from those seeking hard adventure to others content to enjoy the beautiful beaches and accessible national parks.

 Best English-language guide we've seen January 22, 2006

My wife is Malagasy. After over 20 years away, then one exploratory trip, she took me on the next trip. Of the 5 guide books we had, this is the one that she likes best. It is also the book with the most detailed descriptions, from numerous readers who have contributed to Ms. Bradt's editions. It probably also has the best all-around advice. As a traveler, probably from a rich land, to one of the world's poorest places, you will need this advice.
No guide book is perfect. Some of the details, such as the cost of the entry visa at the airport (only 13 Euros) were a little off. Also the maps could both be better and arranged more handily. However, if we had to keep just one of the 5 books, this would be the one.
For travelers to Madagascar I also strongly recommend to get one of the French travel books, like the "petit fute" guide. This is good for maps and addresses and is updated every two years or so.
Also recommended is to get a Malagasy-English translator/ word book. Do not assume that you can buy it there!
 Without any doubt the best guide to Madagascar on the market! January 7, 2007

We love the Bradt guides because they are personal, innovative and in-depth. We used this guide along with 2 other well-known guides, but the Bradt guide was without any doubt the best of the three. If you like to get off the beaten track (without necessarily missing out on the highlights), this is the guide you're looking for! It also includes reader reports and funny anecdotes. One negative point: the maps are far from perfect. If you only take one guide with you, we would definitely recommend to buy some additional maps.

Hilary Bradt has once again captured the feeling of Madagascar as well as imparting useful information. Not only are there color pictures of lemurs but some less well known mammals. Along with detailed information she includes amusing stories. A must for anyone going to Madagascar or just interested in this wonderful country

Don't even think about traveling to Madagascar without the Bradt guide! It never left my side during my month-long adventure through the country. Excellent information on the natural and cultural diversity of the island, plus accurate logistical information on where to eat, sleep, etc. Great sidebars from recent and experienced travelers. Don't forget to bring along the Bradt guide to Maddy wildlife too! Bradt is the only source I trust for travel in Madagascar.
