About
Boogie Pilgrim is one of Madagascar's pioneering inbound tour operators, founded in 1988 by Sonja Gottlebe and Fair Trade Tourism certified. The company is best known for off-the-beaten-track adventures combining hiking and camping in Ankarana, the Tsingy de Bemaraha, and the remote Makay massif, with their own Bush House and Tsara Camp lodges. Birding is offered as part of bespoke wildlife itineraries with multilingual local guides; not a pure-play birding operator but a useful partner for travellers wanting birds plus broader Malagasy wildlife and culture.
