When to go to Madagascar

Madagascar has a hot tropical climate and a mountainous spine, with different weather patterns in each of the key regions. The best time to visit Madagascar therefore varies according to the region you wish to visit.
 
The best time to visit the eastern rainforests is during their dry season from August to November, when the lemurs give birth to their young - but take rain gear all year round and avoid the cyclone season from late January to March.
 
Rainfall is spread more evenly throughout the year in the northwest around Anjajavy & Nosy Be.
 
The south, central and west regions can be visited all year round, but are best from mid April to November, when there is little rain and temperatures are not as hot.
 
Whale watching is best from June to September. Birding is best from September to November, which is the breeding season. Botanists find mid-November to December very rewarding and April is best for reptiles.
