Who Are We?
We are multicultural friends of mixed origin, Croate, Italian, Malagasy, French and Creole, reunited by our passion of nature and wildlife, photography, and travel. We live on two different continents, Europe, in Kriens, canton of Luzern, Switzerland and Africa, Antananarivo, Madagascar. Our passion for wildlife and travel reflects on the five dogs and four cats we raise in Kriens, Paris and Antananarivo, we do not pet wild animals, and the thousands of kilometres we drive yearly discovering and exploring places in Madagascar, Europe, the USA and Africa. Our passion is not only nature and wildlife oriented, we also consider ourselves humanitarian supporting families in Madagascar for the education of the meriting children, for health care and clothing, a personal project involving countless European donators, friends and acquaintances.
Our strength as professionals of the inbound tour operating in Madagascar lies in our commitment, the guaranty of a personal and customised touch to each request, in a careful and rigorous selection of hotels regardless of their category, in the use of efficient means of transport and camping equipment, in the partnership with reliable transport companies and operators, in the conduct of tours by experienced tour guides. Thorough knowledge and acquaintance of the field, we travel regularly throughout all regions of Madagascar for the sake of photography, of reconnaissance of hotels and lodges yet mainly to satisfy the almost insatiable thirst of adventure and exploration that enlivens us, the prompt response to inquiries are, to our humble opinion, evidence of the professionalism that drives us. Inbound tour operator specialist of the destination Madagascar, we are proud to guarantee to our partners outbound tour operators as much as to our customers the peace of mind owed them knowing that the organisation of the valuable vacation of their customers and loved ones is handled by an expert, attentive, passionate, prompt and friendly, honest and transparent incoming tour operator; we indeed will not restrict ourselves on only describing a destination and the highlights of each region, we will keep you informed and updated on the reality of the country, our daily living and to the extent of our possibilities, we will transmit you, in whole or in part, the passion that binds us to Madagascar, our beloved island. At Wild Madagascar, with owners worth over sixty years of cumulative experience, we transcend our role of incoming tour operator; we are the hospitable, cheerful, and attentive accompanying traveler on whom you can always count. In short, we are bound by the magic word “fihavanana”, the exemplary Malagasy concept which encompasses in single word goodwill, friendship and kinship, a concept stronger than any economic or financial tie. As a Malagasy proverb goes “I am yours and it is easy; if I were to another, it would be difficult”.
our team
Meeting Vatsy and Noël, earlier than the 16 years of Wild Madagascar, was a blessing moment as they both turned out to be the backbone of our company, the devout teammate we ever dreamed of in a very demanding domain utterly claiming commitment to business partners, to outbound tour operators and travel agents and ultimately to their very own customers and to the guests whom have been meeting and getting acquainted to us through this very homepage. Competence, professionalism, patience and humanity inherent to Vatsy and Noël, both parents to beloved sons and daughters, shine on people they deal with respectively in the office and in the field when Noël escorts our guests on tour. The younger colleagues who joined us are promising and complete our “senior” colleagues.
