  • Madagascar is not an easy place to travel, especially with kids. But if you come with an open mind and a sense of adventure, the whole family will be rewarded with some of the world’s most unique wildlife and travel experiences.

Here are some important things to know:

🚸 Only a small percentage of Madagascar’s roads are paved — be prepared for long, bumpy drives. The longest drive day we had was 8 hours of non-stop “African massage”. Pack lots of snacks, toilet paper and entertainment! 

⚠️ Best time to visit Madagascar is July to October, but it’s still blazingly hot 🥵. Book hotels with pools; your kids will appreciate it! Some roads (like the one to Tsingy de Bemahara) are closed during rainy season (Dec-Mar) as they get muddy or flooded.

💊 Madagascar is a malaria-affected zone. We are not taking any anti-malarial medicine but we brought them with us just in case. We’re covering ourselves in lotsa insect repellent and long sleeves!

⚡️ Many parts of Madagascar are remote and electricity is scarce - even if you stay in nicer lodges, they might only have power in certain times of the day. We had a few sweaty nights in western Madagascar.

🛜 Expect to be offline most of your time in Madagascar. There’s no cell signal in the remote areas thou internet at high-end lodges is not bad.

✈️ Madagascar Airline is notorious for being unreliable i.e. domestic flights often get canceled. Be prepared with a contingency plan if your flights get canceled.

  • We’re finally back in Madagascar 🇲🇬 , 15 years after we honeymooned here! It feels so special showing Kaleya one of our favorite countries in the world. 🌎 

Any trip to Madagascar is an adventure. It’s not an easy place to travel — only a small % of the country has paved roads, tourism infrastructure almost doesn’t exist, and the current unrest is keeping travelers away. (We’re safe here by the way!)

But it’s a truly unique country, unlike anywhere else we’ve been. Madagascar is the only place where you can find wild lemurs and fossas, the world’s smallest and largest chameleons, and enormous centuries-old baobab trees. 🪾

Our kid is embracing this adventure in Madagascar! I’m amazed by how resilient she is — even the brutal heat, bumpy rides and lack of electricity are not bothering her. It’s a deeply rewarding place for people who like traveling off the beaten path!

  • 14 years ago, Alberto and I came to  Madagascar on our honeymoon and it became our favorite country in the world! We’re SO excited to be back, now with our 10-year-old daughter in tow. 😊

On our first day in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, we were already blown away by what we saw at the Lemur Park. 

Just outside of the city, this 5-hectare park is home to 49 rescued lemurs from all over the country. It has 7 different species of lemurs and we spotted 6! The highlight was seeing this family of Coquerel’s Sifaka cuddled together on a tree! 

Fun facts about lemurs:

🐾 Madagascar is the only place in the world where wild lemurs are found.

🐾 There are 117 species of lemurs in Madagascar! 17 have gone extinct due to hunting (yes some people eat them 😔) and loss of habitat.

🐾 They are the world’s oldest primates- they existed before apes!

🐾 Most lemurs are herbivorous but certain species (like the ring-tailed lemur) eat little chameleons.

  • If you’re thinking of digital nomading with your family, these are the absolute “nevers” we live by to ensure smooth travels and productive workdays.

What are your non-negotiables for family travel?

❌ Never overpack:

More stuff equals more hassle. Every extra item means more to lug, more to keep track of, and more potential for lost items. A few favorites, versatile items, and relying on local playgrounds and nature works wonders.

❌ Never skip travel insurance:

This is non-negotiable. With kids, anything can happen – scraped knees, ear infections, or even more serious incidents. Travel insurance will cover medical emergencies, lost luggage, and trip delays. We’ve have the nomad annual insurance plan from @safetywings for years and they’ve been super reliable!

❌ Never rely solely on restaurant meals:

Eating out for every meal is expensive, can be unhealthy, and frankly, gets tiring for kids. We always look for Airbnbs with kitchens and try to cook simple meals (especially dinner so we can enjoy downtime in the evenings). It saves money, offers healthier options, and provides a familiar routine.

❌ Never underestimate the power of routines :

While digital nomad life is about flexibility, kids thrive on some predictability. We maintain a loose routine for sleep, meals, and reading time. We often spend the day exploring with spurts of reading time and downtime in the evenings.

❌ Never forget to back up important documents:

Losing passports, visas, or all your precious travel photos would be devastating. We use icloud storage and keep physical/digital backups of all essential documents.

We’ve have the nomad annual insurance plan from @safetywings for years and they’ve been super reliable! ❌ Never rely solely on restaurant meals: Eating out for every meal is expensive, can be unhealthy, and frankly, gets tiring for kids. We always look for Airbnbs with kitchens and try to cook simple meals (especially dinner so we can enjoy downtime in the evenings). It saves money, offers healthier options, and provides a familiar routine. ❌ Never underestimate the power of routines : While digital nomad life is about flexibility, kids thrive on some predictability. We maintain a loose routine for sleep, meals, and reading time. We often spend the day exploring with spurts of reading time and downtime in the evenings. ❌ Never forget to back up important documents: Losing passports, visas, or all your precious travel photos would be devastating. We use icloud storage and keep physical/digital backups of all essential documents. 👋🏻 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum. I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here. So glad you’re here! 🌏 #travelfamily #livingabroad #worldschooling #familytravel #learningeverywhere #travelwithkids #digitalnomadfamily #familytravel #digitalnomads

If you’re thinking of digital nomading with your family, these are the absolute “nevers” we live by to ensure smooth travels and productive workdays. What are your non-negotiables for family travel? ❌ Never overpack: More stuff equals more hassle. Every extra item means more to lug, more to keep track of, and more potential for lost items. A few favorites, versatile items, and relying on local playgrounds and nature works wonders. ❌ Never skip travel insurance: This is non-negotiable. With kids, anything can happen – scraped knees, ear infections, or even more serious incidents. Travel insurance will cover medical emergencies, lost luggage, and trip delays.
