Patrick Richard is a wildlife guide and tour operator. He grew up in Ranomafana National Park where his dad – Richard Randriamampionona – still works as a research assistant with biologists. So Patrick has grown up with a deep knowledge of Madagascar’s fauna and a strong network of biologist friends around the country.
Patrick can organise a trip anywhere in Madagascar and will help perfect your itinerary, arrange for vehicles, accommodation and the best local guides and, of course, accompany you around the country.
He speaks French, English and Malagasy
“Patrick is the single biggest reason my 2022 trip to Madagascar was such a success. His hard work, good humour, flexibility and local knowledge is the perfect set of ingredients for a productive and fun trip.” Jon Hall, 2022
