Real Trips. Real Photos. Real Adventures.
Every photo here was somebody’s trip. Start with the one closest to yours.
Guests on foot with trackers in the Eastern Cape bushveld, and the animals they came for.
Early starts on the boat and days on the water off Nosy Be, Madagascar.
The evenings: dinners at the lodge, a drink at the end of a long day and the whole group together.
Guests on a scenic helicopter flight over the bushveld, seeing the country from a completely different angle.
Fly into Nosy Be, never Antananarivo on the mainland. Nine routes from Europe, the Americas and Johannesburg, the airlines to use, and the €35 visa on arrival.
Flight Routes & MapFly into Johannesburg or Cape Town, then connect to the airport nearest your hunting area. Seasons, what to pack and how the hunting season runs from mid-February to mid-July.
South Africa Flight MapEvery photo and video on this page was taken on an actual Epic Paradise Tours & Safaris trip — sunrise boat launches in Nosy Be, tracking through the Eastern Cape bushveld, and everything guests get up to between hunts and hooked fish. No stock photography, no staged shoots. Click through any image or video to read more about that part of the trip.

Trolling for game fish off Nosy Be. Watch how a strike is worked from hook-up to the boat — see the full technique on our Trolling page.
A full aerial flyover of Nosy Be’s coastline. See where every trip is based on our Nosy Be, Madagascar page.
Our full Epic Paradise Tours film, including lemurs and a whale shark encounter near Nosy Be. Read more about the wildlife guests see on our Madagascar Experiences page.
These are our guests, our camps, our water and our bush — not a stock library. The next set of photographs could have you in them.

At Nosy Be, humpback whales pass through in August and September and whale sharks in October and November.
The hunting season runs from mid-February to mid-July.
Fly into Fascene Airport on Nosy Be itself, never Antananarivo on the mainland. SA Airlink flies direct from Johannesburg early on Tuesday mornings; our Madagascar travel tips list all nine routes.
Every one of these was somebody's trip. Tell us what you would like yours to look like.
Rough dates and who is coming is enough to start. No lengthy booking form, no card details.
If the days you have will not cover it, we say so up front and adjust rather than take the booking and disappoint you.
Nothing sold off a shelf. Priced against your dates, group and interests — in USD, Euro or ZAR.
Land-based four to sixteen, live-aboard six to eight, big-game fishing four to five. Never a crowd.
