The Great Red Island
Thank you for this road-trip to Mada, which enabled me to visit a part of this magnificent country that I'd been dreaming about for a long, long time. What beautiful landscapes we crossed, what a joyful welcome from its people, despite the poverty. Excellent organization, accommodation and meals. Come and visit Madagascar, far from the resorts...

Having traveled quite a bit, Madagascar is a real visual and emotional shock. A rather rootsy destination, Vintage Rides offers comfort and safety. This country undoubtedly deserves economic and social development, and to go there is to contribute to it.

The Great Red Island
Madagascar - new experience without any stereotypes - yes, there are lemurs and baobabs, but that’s not the end of story. So nice and open people, super clean and unspoiled nature, nothing is overcrowded, life is easy. Before I had impression, what Madagascar’s roads are in super bad condition - only red mud. So, it’s not true at least in dry season and on RN7 - from Antananarivo to Toliara. Motorcycle is the fastest option, but still you travel slow - by meeting people, feeling hot sun or sudden rain or smelling all kind of odors.

The Great Red Island
This was an adventure and a real eye opener to how people live in other countries with so little. I loved interacting with the locals, as well as being in nature with the lemurs and baobab trees. I found it quite hard at the beginning with the twisty roads, pot holes, zebus, dogs and suicidal chickens but it became easier as the ride progressed. Definitely an adventure not to be missed.

The Great Red Island
Madagascar was a big discovery for me. The landscapes are sublime, and the arrival on the Gulf of Mozambique a superb reward after a rather intense adventure. Once, at a stopover, I felt the reluctance of the locals to welcome our group of vahaza, but on the whole the Malagasy are very warm?
Vintage Rides' response

Merci pour ton retour, Isabelle 🙏 Madagascar ne laisse personne indifférent, et ton regard sur l’accueil des Malgaches est précieux. C’est vrai que certaines rencontres peuvent être plus réservées, mais on est contentes que tu aies globalement ressenti la chaleur humaine qui fait la richesse de l’île. Merci d’avoir roulé avec nous ! Alexane, Alyssa, Polina & Astrid
