About

Explore One of Madagascar’s Last Wild Frontiers

The Makay Massif is a vast sandstone plateau located west of Fianarantsoa, between the highlands and Madagascar’s western lowlands. This isolated region remains largely unexplored due to its rugged terrain, deep canyons, seasonal rivers, and lack of roads, making it a true paradise for adventure travel.

Most Makay expeditions depart from Fianarantsoa, traveling by 4×4 through rural landscapes and small villages before reaching the Makay access zones near Beroroha or nearby entry points. From there, the journey continues on foot, following riverbeds, narrow gorges, and natural corridors carved into the rock over millions of years.

The Makay is home to endemic plant species, lemurs, reptiles, and birdlife, as well as hidden waterfalls and crystal-clear swimming pools. Due to its remoteness, guided tours are essential, ensuring both safety and respect for this fragile ecosystem. This adventure offers a rare opportunity to experience Madagascar in its purest, most untouched form.

I prebooked a taxi from an airport to city center. You start off by talking to a bot, but they quickly switch to a person who gives you a quotation in no time. Everything works smoothly. I'd recommend it and I will most likely use it again.

Excellent. Highly recommended. We communicated with Mada Assist for several weeks to plan our trip. We finally booked two 4WD vehicles with drivers through them: one for three days in Andasibe and another for ten days in Morondava, Tsingy, and Belo sur Mer. The drivers, Rojo and Louis, were excellent, efficient, yet very safe and punctual. The vehicles were in very good condition and cleaned daily. Truly a positive experience. I would use Mada Assist again without hesitation.

A large team means there's always someone available to answer your questions. They are helpful, attentive to your needs, and efficient in their procedures and research. They address your concerns with great kindness. I've been hunting in Madagascar for 45 years, every year, and will now use them for my future trips. I commend them wholeheartedly. Claude

Great service provided through Mada Assist. The car I rented was delivered on time and the drop off was also as smooth as can be. The KIA Sorento that I rented was an excellent choice for the sometimes challenging roads on Nosy Be.
