Our team

Nary ANDRIARIMALALA – Managing Director

After two years of biology and four years of German studies at the University of Antananarivo, I moved to Germany in the year 2000. During my stay at the University of Bielefeld within the framework of a DAAD scholarship, I have been working on my Master’s thesis about German light fiction with Professor Joerg Drews. My multiple stays in Europe and my international circle of friends have helped me to understand the European way of life and culture. Among all regions and parts of Madagascar, the place I prefer the most is the Androy region since it is a fairly isolated place with few inhabitants, almost no infrastructure or even just a church. One of the things that really touched me during the time I spent there was the fact that despite the misery and poverty these people have  never forgot the meaning of community life and also the joy of living. In short, joy, peace and harmony reign in this region of Madagascar.

Riantsoa RAHARINORO – Travel Expert 

My name is Riantsoa Raharinoro, born on June 05, 1998 in Befelatanana Antananarivo. My passion for Tourism was sparked by the magnificent reserve of Ankafobe that I had the pleasure of visiting with the Missouri Botanical Garden Association in 2014. Since then, I pursued my academic studies in Tourism at INTH. I joined the Malagasya Travel team as an intern in December 2016. My years of experience with the company have strengthened my passion for tourism and, above all, love of my country. I graduated with a professional degree in sustainable tourism in 2018 and started working as a Travel Agent at Malagasya Travel. During the pandemic and as the business was slow, I decided to resume my academic studies. In 2022, I graduated with a Master’s degree in Tourism and Hotel Management. This has currently qualified me to manage the non-German-speaking department at Malagasya Travel. Among the wonderful places I’ve visited over the years, the southern part of Madagascar has always captivated me for its rich cultural diversity, breathtaking scenery and, above all, beautiful white sandy beaches. Perfect for first-time travellers to Madagascar.

My name is ANDRIAMIHARIMANA Narindra Nekeniavo. I studied for three years in the German Studies Department and three years in Private Law at CNTEMAD (National Centre for Tele-Education in Madagascar). After my university career, I oriented myself in the field of tourism, following an internship within MALAGASYA TRAVEL. Southern Madagascar is one of the most interesting destinations on the island. From region to region, the landscape is becoming more and more diversified, each with its own particularity. That’s how I was dazzled by Isalo’s unique natural charm. With its fascinating landscape, its limestone rocks drawn by the climate and the weather, Isalo offers a unique landscape to the world. Far from the world, in an incredible setting, Isalo is one of the most visited destinations in Madagascar.

Personally, among the other places in Madagascar, Andravona is for me a unique place. Its warm and calm character, far from the noise and crowds as well as the stress of the capital, makes it a perfect place for relaxation. We cannot resist the beauty of its turquoise sea and its beach with fine sands. Andravona is also the only place in Madagascar where you can meet Mikea people, living in the famous Mikea forest and having their own way of life.

The deep south of Madagascar fascinates me, and it’s one of my favorite destinations on the island. The change of scenery as far as Toliara shows us the greatness and cultural and biodiversity diversity of the big island. In the form of a little therapy, this trip helps us escape the daily grind of the capital and realize the greatness of life.

One of the best destinations of Madagascar and which stands as my favorite is Tolagnaro. Also called Fort Dauphin, it is known to be the end of the world and a town which offers an exceptional change of scenery. I am still mesmerized by the beauty of its landscape, with an overview of the town from the top of the Pic Saint Louis after its ascent. Surf or swim in the sea of the wonderful and deserted Libanona beach will also soothe your soul. Lemurs, birds, orchids and other biodiversity can also be seen at the various sites, providing a real opportunity to reconnect with nature.

This natural setting reveals all the beauty of the Malagasy fauna and flora on about fifty hectares.

I’m passionate about adventure and hiking, which is why I’d choose Andranotoraha, a place located 10km from the commune of Ampefy. Its natural landscapes make Andranotoraha exceptional, and the presence of calm, pure water in a basin anchored to the crest of a small mountain gives it its charm. The Andranotoraha hill offers a lovely panoramic view of the large lake.
