photo journey
Madagascar 🇲🇬

Madagascar captivates with its pristine nature, vibrant cultures, and unique wildlife: dense rainforests, vast highlands, crater lakes, and the famous lemurs await you. On this photography tour, you'll immerse yourself in the island's diversity – it's not about speed, but about light, encounters, and authentic stories.

Our route deliberately takes you to select locations in the central highlands and the eastern rainforest. In small groups, we explore quiet villages, local markets, and craft workshops, while you photograph wildlife—from indri-indri and other lemurs to chameleons and birds—in their natural habitat. Morning mist, rainforest sounds, and the golden hour at the lake will become your constant companions.

This trip offers more than just beautiful scenery: You'll receive personal photographic guidance from German professional photographer Isabela Pacini, including individual image reviews, coaching on composition and lighting, storytelling, and series development. Combined with local guides and experienced partners on site, you'll discover authentic insights off the beaten tourist track.

Whether you're photographing landscapes, wildlife, or culture, Madagascar offers you the time, depth, and space for photography that truly matters. In the end, you'll take home not only impressive images but also unforgettable experiences and stories.
