Travel in Madagascar for a life-changing experience!

Local time in Madagascar: 

Everybody can join this programme ! We all have something to give, even without professionnal skills or qualifications. You need to be flexible, independant and want to help people and discover the beautiful island and culture of Madagascar !

When enrolling for a volunteer program in Madagascar with Globalong, you will have the opportunity to help one of the poorest populations on earth.

As soon as you arrive, you will be submerged by the warm welcome that the Malagasy people, who, even with the little means they have, are very friendly and eager to meet new cultures. You will see places that few travellers have ever seen and live with the locals, in local conditions.

When you enrol for this program in Madagascar, you can choose different projects - please see the full description of each placement, hosting conditions and tasks by clicking on the links hereafter.

During your time off in Antananarivo, you can visit the historical centre and the Andohalo place, the Anglican or Catholic cathedrals, the Ambonin'Ampamarinana temple, the Andafiavaratra palace or the Rova (the royal compound).

Near Antananarivo, you can visit the Lemur’sparc ot the crocodile farm. For the more adventurous, who are not afraid to travel long distances, you can visit Nosy Be, the beautiful island of Sainte Marie or Cap Diego.* The project coordinator will help you organize the trip.
