Everything was exceptionally well organised from all of the communication when organising the trip beforehand, to the quality of our guides, accommodation and overall holiday experience… We can also highly recommend Madagascar as a country with incredible wildlife, stunning scenery and very friendly people.

Madagascar is a place of exceptional beauty, with wildlife you'll see nowhere else in the world.

Clare Jones, Madagascar

After planning my wedding, the last thing I wanted to do was plan a honeymoon. But my husband and I also really wanted to have a grand adventure to Madagascar. We turned to Sundowner -- the first time my husband and I have ever booked with a tour operator -- and I'm so grateful that we did. Lucy helped us craft a perfect, stress-free trip full of the things we love (so many unique animals and amazing hiking.) Communication with Sundowner was great before we left home and we were in awe by how smoothly the whole trip went thanks to the careful planning and local drivers and guides that had been arranged for us. It was the trip of a lifetime and we are feeling even more confident and eager to explore more of the world and see more of its animals. I suspect we'll be booking through Sundowner again.
