EXPLORE THE BEST OF MADAGASCAR
OUT OF THIS WORLD LANDSCAPES
Madagascar’s distinctive geography gives rise to some of the most varied and breathtaking landscapes on Earth. The eastern coastal band thrives on the moisture brought by trade winds from the Indian Ocean, while the western regions, shielded by the island’s mountainous spine, remain arid for much of the year. In the south, Miremby offers tailored experiences in the arid desert landscapes of the extreme southeast, characterised by spiny forests and majestic baobabs.
Explore the Utah-like canyons and sweeping prairies of the central belt, then journey to the lush rainforests and terraced rice paddies of the north and east.
Your adventure with Miremby not only allows you to relax on pristine white sand beaches but also actively supports local communities through responsible wildlife tourism and community-led initiatives. By choosing Miremby, a tour operator rooted in sustainability and collaboration, you contribute to preserving Madagascar’s unique ecosystems and empowering its people—creating travel experiences that are as meaningful as they are unforgettable.
UNIQUE WILDLIFE
Madagascar is a globally celebrated biodiversity hotspot, home to 107 species of lemurs and 283 species of birds. Thanks to the island’s isolation from Africa and Indonesia, the majority of its wildlife is endemic, meaning these extraordinary species can only be found in Madagascar.
When you travel with Miremby—a bespoke, community-led tour operator—you’ll enjoy unique, immersive experiences that prioritise the well-being of Madagascar’s ecosystems, communities, and wildlife.
Founded by conservation scientists Bethany and Tsiraiky, Miremby is dedicated to responsible and informative tourism that safeguards endangered species and their habitats. By choosing Miremby, you’ll not only witness Madagascar’s unparalleled natural beauty but also contribute to preserving its remarkable biodiversity and supporting the local communities who call it home.
DIVERSE CULTURES
Madagascar is home to 18 distinct tribes, each with its own unique beliefs, traditional attire, and cultural taboos (fady). Thanks to Miremby’s deep connections and long-standing friendships across the island, we offer an authentic window into the lives of the cattle-herding Bara, the nomadic Vezo fishermen, and the Antandroy, known for their stunning tombs in the arid southwest. Our respectful and sensitive approach ensures you gain meaningful insights into the rich cultural tapestry of Madagascar.
Miremby’s community-led experiences are thoughtfully designed to give back, ensuring that your journey not only enriches your understanding but also supports the communities you visit in a truly impactful way.
OUR SERVICES
OUR DESTINATIONS
Miremby was born in the south of Madagascar, and Fort Dauphin in the wild and beautiful southeast remains our home and heartbeat. From this coastal town where rainforest meets the sea, we’ve built a community-led tour operator that offers immersive, responsible travel experiences across the country. Our bespoke itineraries take you from the lush landscapes of the south and east, through the arid beauty of the west with its towering Baobab forests and sweeping views over the Mozambique Channel, and up the legendary Route Nationale 7, dotted with iconic national parks, vibrant highland towns, and rich cultural heritage, all the way to Antananarivo, the capital.
Whether you’re trekking through spiny forests, learning traditional weaving in remote villages, spotting lemurs in protected reserves, sharing a meal with local families—or simply unwinding on a quiet beach, soaking in the sun and sea breeze—each journey with us is thoughtfully designed to connect you with the people and places that make Madagascar truly unique.
By joining a Miremby tour, you do more than just explore—you actively support local livelihoods, wildlife conservation, and environmental protection. Every step you take with us helps build a more ethical, inclusive, and sustainable future for travel in Madagascar.
WHAT WE DO
At Miremby, we are a community-led tour operator dedicated to creating immersive, ethical travel experiences that benefit people, wildlife, and the environment. We specialise in eco-tourism, wildlife tours, cultural journeys, adventure travel, and research expeditions, offering both set departure group tours and fully bespoke itineraries tailored to solo travellers, couples, or private groups.
Whether you’re looking for a conservation-focused expedition, a cultural deep-dive, or a relaxing escape, we build each itinerary in close collaboration with local communities to ensure meaningful, respectful engagement. Prefer to stay in one place? We can base your trip in Fort Dauphin, Tuléar, or Antananarivo, with thoughtfully designed experiences rooted in your interests.
OUR IMPACT
Miremby’s trips embrace the slow road through southern Madagascar, inviting you to experience the island at a pace that fosters genuine connection—with its people, its landscapes, and its wildlife. Our community-led, sustainable approach means you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in Malagasy culture, participate in responsible wildlife viewing, explore stunning natural environments, and engage with the communities that call these places home. Every step of your journey is designed not only for discovery, but for mutual benefit.
We carefully design our itineraries to uplift and empower local communities, ensuring that tourism remains a force for good. Whether you’re learning to weave with local artisans, sharing a traditional meal, hiking in a sacred forest, or simply observing lemurs with respect and care, your presence supports long-term conservation and cultural preservation.
As a community-led tour operator, we specialise in bespoke experiences tailored to your interests—be it wildlife, culture, relaxation, or adventure—ensuring your journey is both personal and purposeful. Behind the scenes, our staff and guides are paid fair, sustainable wages, reflecting our deep commitment to ethical practices and equitable partnerships.
At Miremby, travel is about more than just where you go—it’s about how you go, and the lasting impact you leave behind.
