Tour Guiding is for me a way to show the world differently. I am delighted to help people to discover the inner world of travel: growing with Nature to allow Nature to grow in people. I am devoted to experience life along with people and travel, and seeing people swimming into the happiness of travel is my elixir. That is why I would like to share my passion of guiding around my beloved country where my field knowledge and experiences are taking source. Born into a family passionate with Conservation, I strongly have that as one of my life's achievement and Tourism is a way for me to get people involved into the preservation of what is the most important value of life: man and nature. During my 20 years of field guiding, I have never changed my focus specialization: Wildlife, Biodiversity, Human and Culture. Mainly working with groups, I have been with many Nationalities and working along with many well-known Tour Companies. Wherever you will go with me, be sure will be reconnected with yourself, you will be reconciled with Nature, and you will experience Madagascar in my way as a purely local. Every tour that I do is tailored around the visitor, couple or groups. I love Madagascar, I do love all the blessing nature we have and I am here to help you to enjoy your "Madagascar, the trip of a lifetime". Awaiting for you, I am already so thankful for us sharing a life experience together on the island of uniqueness. If you travel in a bigger group I will create a customized tour for you. I recommend you to book the tours in advance to get the best hotel. Your host in Madagascar, Manitra R. Board of Directors' Chairman, National Guide Federation (FNG-MADAGASCAR).
