MADAGASCAR
A Wild & Soulful Escape to Madagascar
A 12-day journey through wild landscapes, ancient forests, and island serenity — with yoga, wildlife, and just 6 guests.
When: 19-30 July 2026
ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT!
After spending about 9 months sailing around Madagascar, I completely fell in love with this wild, soulful island — and now, I’m inviting you to come and experience it with me.
We’ll walk beneath towering baobabs in Morondava, hike through the lush rainforests of Andasibe, and watch lemurs leap through the trees — found only in Madagascar and nowhere else on Earth. Then we slow it all down on the island of Nosy Komba, where we’ll do yoga, eat nourishing food, swim in clear turquoise waters, and simply be. Madagascar is like nowhere else I’ve ever been — raw, untamed, spiritual, full of life. It’s a place that touches you deeply. I can’t wait to return, and I’d love for you to join me on this one-of-a-kind journey.
I’m keeping this experience small and special — limited to just 6 guests — to make sure it stays personal, intentional, and unforgettable.

A Land Like No Other
Madagascar is not just an island — it’s a world apart. Separated from mainland Africa for over 160 million years, this enchanting land is home to wildlife and landscapes found nowhere else on Earth. Nearly 90% of its flora and fauna is endemic, meaning you won’t see it anywhere else — from its famous lemurs to towering baobab trees and jewel-toned chameleons.
Interesting Facts
Madagascar is the 4th largest island in the world.
It’s home to over 100 species of lemurs, each with their own unique calls and behaviors.
The Baobab trees, often called "upside-down trees," can live for over 1,000 years.
The island has rainforests, dry forests, coral reefs, and deserts — all in one country.
The local Malagasy culture blends African, Asian, and French influences — reflected in the food, music, and language.
