Where we are based in Madagascar

Andasibe

You’ll do volunteer work in Madagascar in the small town of Andasibe, which has a population of about 12,000 people. The town is located four hours east of the capital, Antananarivo, and is close to three conservation areas.

One of the highlights of volunteering in Madagascar is its endemic wildlife and vegetation. You can spend your free time exploring wildlife reserves and watching as lemurs skip nimbly through the trees.

A must-see while you are there is Tsingy de Bemaraha, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its towering limestone structures, sometimes called the Labyrinth of Stone. You can also walk through the majestic Avenue of the Baobabs and appreciate the beauty of these uniquely-shaped trees.

AIRPORT PICKUP, FLIGHTS AND VISAS

When you arrive at your respective airport, a member of Projects Abroad staff will be there to meet you. You can find more detailed information on arrival airports, orientation, and visas on our Madagascar Arrival Procedures page.
