Elie Sergio
Founder and soul of Nature Tour Madagascar:
The story of Nature Tour Madagascar begins with Elie Sergio, its founder and visionary. An accomplished trilingual speaker fluent in French, English and Italian, Elie embodies the meeting between local passion and international openness. A native of Madagascar, he grew up surrounded by the lush nature of his homeland, developing from childhood a fascination with wildlife that has never left him. This early passion transformed into a professional calling over ten years ago, when he decided to dedicate his career to naturalist guiding and tourist accompaniment.
A recognised specialist in Malagasy wildlife, Elie Sergio possesses exceptional expertise in observing and identifying endemic species. His profound understanding of animal behaviours, his remarkable ability to spot the most discreet creatures in their natural environment, and his encyclopaedic knowledge of biodiversity make him an outstanding guide. But beyond his technical skills, it is his generosity in sharing his knowledge, his infectious enthusiasm and his dedication to his clients that have built his reputation. Every encounter with a rare chameleon, every observation of a lemur in the canopy, every discovery of a little-known species becomes under his guidance a magical and unforgettable moment.
In founding Nature Tour Madagascar, Elie wanted to create much more than a simple tourism business. His ambition was to build a structure that reflects his values: professional excellence, respect for nature, personalised service and authenticity in every interaction. He has gathered around him a team that shares this vision, trained collaborators to his exacting standards, and established trusted partnerships throughout the island. Today, although surrounded by competent professionals, Elie remains deeply involved in every aspect of the business, personally supervising the creation of itineraries and ensuring that every journey organised by Nature Tour Madagascar bears his signature of excellence and authenticity.
