Program Overview

Embark on a life-changing adventure by volunteering in Madagascar with Volunteering Solutions. Our programs are designed to provide you with a unique opportunity to contribute to local communities and the environment while exploring one of the most biodiverse and culturally rich islands in the world. With a range of affordable volunteering opportunities, you can choose from programs such as Teaching English, Marine Conservation, Sea Turtle Conservation, Community Development, and Forest Conservation. Whether you are a student, backpacker, gap-year traveller or group of friends or students, our programs offer something for everyone looking to make a meaningful impact.

Our volunteer programs are based on Nosy Komba, an idyllic island located just off the northwest coast of Madagascar. Nosy Komba, often referred to as "the island of lemurs," is a serene, untouched paradise with lush landscapes, pristine beaches, and crystal-clear waters. It serves as the perfect setting for both immersion in local culture and the opportunity to participate in conservation efforts.

The main volunteer home campsite is nestled between a beautiful tropical forest and a pristine beach, overlooking Nosy Be and the world-famous Lokobe Forest Reserve. Just meters from the campsite, volunteers can experience incredible coconut tree-fringed beaches with easy access to coral reefs.

Whether you're passionate about marine biology, teaching, conservation, or community development, there's a meaningful opportunity waiting for you in the Madagascar Volunteer Programs.

Suggested Weekend Travel Options

Madagascar, undoubtedly, is an enchanting country and there's so much to do that you might just fall short of time. The volunteering project location is extremely beautiful in itself, and you can simply walk along the beaches or just go for a swim on the weekends. But in case you are enthusiastic enough to head out and explore, here are a few options that you can choose from!

Walk around the avenue of Baobabs - Needless to say, this is the place of which you have seen innumerable photographs - and it's also the most favorite place of the travelers. As its name suggests, the Avenue of the Baobabs is a stretch of giant baobab trees believed to be up to 800 years old, located near the Kirindy Mitea National Park, which sits along Madagascar's west coast. This natural wonder will surely take your breath away!

Explore Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve - Marked as a UNESCO Heritage Site for being home to impressive geological structures and a variety of endangered species, you'll get to spot the towering gray limestone pinnacles, which stand up to 328 feet tall and wonder how nature can be so creative! You'll also get to spot various species of Lemurs, reptiles, and birds.

Hike through the Isalo National Park - Described by many as one of the best National Parks of Madagascar, you can go for a hike in the Isalo National Park and cool yourself down at one of the many natural swimming pools! A tropical paradise, this would definitely be the adventurous world you are seeking to explore.
