Season
November to December – low season
In the spring of Madagascar the weather is hot, but still relatively dry. Since by this time most of the tourists have already left, you can enjoy cheaper prices. Besides, in November you can come across baby moors with their mothers – a very special experience. December is considered the hottest month in Madagascar and is also the start of the rainy season, but you still have good opportunities to explore the island’s wildlife here.
