Best time to travel to Madagascar

Discover the ideal time to visit Madagascar

Madagascar, an island nation off the southeastern coast of Africa, offers a unique blend of biodiversity, stunning landscapes, and rich culture. The best time to visit Madagascar largely depends on what you want to experience.

Generally, the ideal period is during the dry season, which runs from April to November. This season provides pleasant weather and easier travel conditions.

From April to June, the island experiences cooler temperatures, typically ranging from 15° to 20°. This is an excellent time to explore the lush rainforests of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, where you can spot the famous Indri lemurs and various bird species.

The landscapes are vibrant, and the trails are manageable.

July and August are peak tourist months, with temperatures averaging between 18° and 25°. This is the perfect time to visit the Avenue of the Baobabs near Morondava, where the iconic trees create a surreal landscape.

The coastal areas, like Nosy Be, are also popular during these months, offering beautiful beaches and excellent diving opportunities.

From September to November, the weather warms up slightly, with temperatures ranging from 20° to 28°. This period is ideal for wildlife enthusiasts, as it's the breeding season for many species.

The Isalo National Park, with its dramatic canyons and natural pools, is particularly stunning during this time.

Avoid the rainy season from December to March, as heavy rains can make travel difficult and some areas inaccessible.
