A wonderful way to see the capital…

A wonderful way to see the capital city! We were picked up in a very nice truck and even got water bottles provided for us! Our driver was so kind and helpful in every way pointing out tidbits of Madagascar history along the way! Lemur park is a must do and definitely one of my favorite experiences so far. The rest of the day was wonderful!! Our guides at the lemur park, photo museum, and queens palace were also exceptional! A huge thank you to Vivy travel and especially our driver for making our trip so wonderful!!!

Madagascar in other perspective

This was the best trip I have ever made, Madagascar a beautiful island. Vivy Travel agency was at its best during my holiday, we went all around the country. Seen all the touristic sites was very wonderful, the staff of the agency was working very well and hard to make the client in lack of nothing. They are good at talking, especially sharing their culture and their knowledge.

Trip around Madagascar

The Trip with Vivi travel was perfectly organised. Everything was very smooth and we were in good company all the time. Also the communication with the agency was perfect. The travel by road was was very exhausting and the cars could be a bit more modern.

Vivy Green and Humanity is an environmental association founded in 2020 by Vivy Travel Madagascar. Although our main area of activity focuses on environmental and sustainable initiatives, we also support humanitarian actions, which are at the heart of our mission.

We are committed to educating the local community through accessible educational programmes, raising environmental awareness, building resilience to climate change and promoting sustainable adaptation.

Travelling to madagascar with a fresh perspective :.

At Greeny, we understand the importance of sustainable travel. Over the years, we have worked closely with local people, village associations, rights organisations and travel agencies to offer you trips that are far removed from the usual itineraries, that encourage encounters, discoveries and cultural exchanges, such as camping in the open air, minimising car journeys and staying with local people to develop the local economy. Part of our profits are donated to organisations working to protect and conserve the environment, as well as to humanitarian associations. We also support sustainable projects.
