Volunteer Programs in Madagascar
Madagascar’s long isolation from neighboring continents has deemed it as a bit of a question mark to foreigners. But as the mystery unravels, you will find a kaleidoscopic rainbow of flora and fauna that look like they were drawn up by Dr. Seuss himself. Much of this exclusive assortment of plants, animals, and natives is found nowhere else in the world, holding Madagascar as the epitome of biodiversity. If you are looking for a truly one-of-a-kind experience, volunteer in Madagascar — a breeding ground for the extraordinary and unexpected.

A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Madagascar
Locations
If you’re one of those “life is a journey, not a destination” types, then buckle your seatbelt, because Madagascar volunteers have the ultimate journey. The country’s terrain makes half the fun getting to the location you choose to volunteer in. But when you ultimately want to find a place to lay your head, here are the top locations to aim for:
Nosy Be is Madagascar’s number-one beach destination. With year-round sun, it is paradise for any water-based activities you’ve been eager to cross off your bucket list. Diving is the island’s top draw, followed by swimming, snorkeling, and sailing. Once you’ve swallowed enough salt water for one day, head for the marvelous Réserve Naturelle Intégrale de Lokobe. Explore cocoa, ylang-ylang, and vanilla plantations, crater lakes and waterfalls, and miles of dirt tracks accessible only by an old-fashioned hike or quad bike.
Fort Dauphin is located along a peninsula, wedged between the sea and mountains. The expedition to Fort Dauphin is a gateway to a tropical paradise that will wind you through spiny forests and plop you down in a city of raw splendor. While traveling to Fort Dauphin, you’ll be able to truly experience and appreciate the animal and plant life as you dive deep into pristine jungles. Volunteers can spend free time looking for lemurs, relaxing on the beach, and exploring the dramatic hinterland.
Antananarivo, but you can call her Tana, is the capital city and home to the majority of Madagascar’s history and culture, as well as some unexpected wildlife. Beautiful colonial buildings and markets make it a great place to wander about and even pick up gifts for friends and family back home. Also, this is the place to treat yo’ self to a fine meal. Some establishments rival European Michelin-starred restaurants, but without the price tag.
