When is the best time to visit Madagascar?
The best time of the year to visit Madagascar is probably September - November after the cool, dry winter but before the hot rainy season. Cyclone season is February to March when the climate is at its rainiest. Many animals are least active during the coldest months (June-August).
Times of special interest:
late January - March: cyclone season, peak herp (reptiles and amphibians) season, best time for flowering orchids
April - May: rains mostly finished leaving the countryside lush and green
July - August: coolest time of the year, peak whale watching season in the Bay of Antongil (July-Sept), many animals inactive or hibernating
September - December: excellent time for birding; the breeding season
October - November: baby lemur season, generally mild weather
