Ask these questions in writing before you book. A reputable provider will answer them clearly. Evasion or vague responses are a red flag.
- (Wildlife) Does the program allow ANY tourist contact with lemurs or other wildlife?
- (Wildlife) What's the project's relationship with Madagascar National Parks and recognised conservation bodies (Madagascar Fauna and Flora Group, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust)?
- Are placements at residential children's homes?
- What's the local-staff-to-volunteer ratio?
