Dear all
Can anyone tell me if it is better to go to Madagascar in August or October? I am looking at two tours and don’t know enough about the country to tell if the first one will tend to be very wet….. I understand October is dryer. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Penny D-B

Hi Penny,
Usually the best birding in Africa is in Spring, that is at the end of the dry season and you may get some early rains which usually start in November. Generally August is cold and windy and too early for the summer migrants.
You should have a look at your target birds and see when they are present in Madagascar, e.g. Sooty Falcon, Eleonara’s Falcon and Madagascar Lesser Cuckoo are all summer birds.
Many of the ground-rollers are silent and inactive during the dry cold season (May to August)
Regards,
Bruce
