THANK YOU FOR WATHCING!
I can not believe we are actually in Madagascar. We've been looking forward to this country for a very long time and it did not disappoint.
As soon as we arrived in Antananarivo, or as locals call it "Tana" we were in awe of what a unique and special place this is. We took a 5 hour, super bumpy car ride to Andasibe to get into the jungle. We stayed at Mantadia Lodge. mantadialodge.... In Madagascar you do mostly walking safaris (very different from mainland Africa!) and we were on the lookout for lemurs (114 different species!), chameleons, and other unique animals endemic to Madagascar.
We're especially grateful to Mada Classic for helping us organize such a wonderful Madagascar itinerary. www.madaclassi...
And to Mavros Safari for piecing together weeks and weeks of travel all over Africa. mavrossafaris....
Much love, The Bucket List Family

DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD DO THIS..But our favorite comments are when you guys time stamp your favorite moments. Super fun for us! THANK YOU for watching. See you next week? Which country or city next?
If you are still in Madagascar, there might be seaturtles near Toliara. Baobab alley is also a sight to see near Morondava. Tsingy Forest, Lake Tritriva, and the Rova (or Ambohimangarova) are places to check out too!
No Book or Author is definitely not better than the Bible! That shouldn't even or ever be said , even when joking.
@TheBucketListFamily 18:45 when Cali is just staring off into the distance and then the face he makes had me dying laughing he is the cutest! and man those lemurs are very loud haha! definitely putting Madagascar on my bucket list!
Garret please!! What is the name of the melody that start to sound arround 5:20?
@@fraulloarfraulloar524 I GOT YOU by Jack Johnson
Garrett..you have officially elevated your travel vlogs to art form. Your videos are not only a love song to your experiences and adventures and this great big amazing world that many of us don't get to experience , but they are a love song to your family, a tribute to their growth as travellers and citizens of the world. Keep exposing them to new experiences, new countries, new people and new cultures. Keep pushing them beyond their comfort levels to do more, experience more, be more You're raising three amazing human beings and I'm here for it! ❤❤❤❤❤ P.S. it's hard for me to identify any one part of the video because I love it all, but perhaps when the chameleon was interacting with all of you. Beautiful!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m not even sure if Dorothy realizes it, but I think it’s hilarious that Cali and Manilla restate the same things Dorothy says, just in a tiny bit different way! As a fellow big sister, I know it’s not always easy but Dorothy sure does a great job at leading her little brothers! 💕
@12:15 Dorothy’s expression on her face is hilarious like “chameleon, you’re fascinating, but please don’t crawl on my face.” And the way she keeps her lips sealed! Reminds me of the 1990s Parent Trap movie with the lizard 🦎 on Meredith’s head! 🤭
Dorothy’s reaction when Garrett tells her she can have the big bed is everything😂❤
Dorothy looks so much like Jessica's mini-me. And the boys look like their dad. All of you are so loving and beautiful. What a sweet an perfect family. May you be always happy and healthy. Sending love from Germany.
Dorothy is looking more and more like Jessica every day.
awwww you are sweet!
Dorothy is so pretty
This video was magical guys! What an incredible experience. Thanks for taking us along!
Love seeing more of calli's mind as he grows up and the kids thoughts. So amazing to see them growing up with these experiences. ❤
25:04 hahah I’m glad the tree monster didn’t pull out Cali’s tongue!! 👅🐀😂 I thoroughly enjoyed the kids’ stories this week!! I think you’ve challenged me to go to Madagascar someday! 😅
Cali talking to the lemur! 😍 Literally every video he does something which leaves me with my mouth open. He is an amazing human.
14:32 - Fav part: Everyone’s step by step narration of the chameleon’s journey on Garrett. 🖤🦎
Ya'll are a great family. Your kids are the kindest, smartest, funniest, bravest, and most beautiful kids. I always learn so much from them. Thanks for sharing these videos for people like me that will never be able to travel to these places and see all of these things and do the things ya'll do. Be safe, have fun, learn lots of things, and God Bless you all. ❤
I remember you once asked where we'd like you to visit... I wrote down my island... Madagascar... but I would never have believed that one day you would really come here for real... I would have loved to meet you but it's also an honor to know that you loved my country and somehow understood it... the country that upsets you and changes the way you face life.
❤
The chameleon is so cool
Your kiddos are just precious!
I know you can’t possibly go through all the comments you must receive, BUT, I am an 80 year old mother, grandmother who has watched ALL of your videos and must tell you, I will be so sad (but I understand) when I no longer have new adventures/videos to watch of you and your family (so I’ll start from the beginning again). One of my “life” wishes is to be ”here” to see where my grandchildren’s life focus is going. And, you and your family…oh how I would love to see where your children are focused in 10 years from now. You are definitely such a unique family, with incredible experiences, all of which are a part of forming us as members of this planet. To see where your children are 10 years from now……
Sunday always gets bettr when the bucket list family uploads a video🎉🎉🎉👍👍❤
aw thank you! You are so so sweet!
What an AMAZING FATHER YOU ARE! Just came across your site and it reminded me sooo much of all my father taught my sisters and me! What a Blessing and Gift to last a lifetime! Yay for you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome! ❤❤ Dorothy: "It was just a giant puff ball of cute!"
Madagascar changed my life, widening my horizons and confronting every life choice I have ever made😢❤
absolutely life changing!
Nice, how you are trying to formulate the recommendations in the end….we talked and talked about it as well, after we left. I wouldn’t recommend it to go there as a visitor! I would however recommend it to go there to help the Malagasi, to get to know them and to be a change instead of a viewer. 🙏
I was feeling down so I revisited your videos and oh my gosh I’m blown away! Just when I think your videos couldn’t get any better! I can’t tell you how much I love your family’s energy. Also congratulations Jessica on the book, I can’t wait to read it! You guys are amazing, thanks for sharing these moments❤️
I love how affectionate your kids with each other.
Your kids are absolutely amazing! So smart and brave! Y’all are the definition of great parents! God bless you all always ❤💙💚
I don't think it will be possible to enjoy nature trips like you, but I thank you because your videos make me feel the beauty of nature through your trips ❤.
Just spent 6 months living in Madagascar and it was incredible. The people, the culture and the wildlife is all so unique. It most certainly changed my life and I will have many life long friends from my time there and will certainly go back.
Madagascar is a rich country+poor and the bucket list family very good video
Как здорово, что Вы есть !!!! 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍❤️
Thank you for putting so much work into these videos.
Seeing character develop in all 3 kids. I have been to Mombasa, Kenya so I've been in your neck of the woods. Got heat exhaustion also. I'd be searching out the local music heavily. Dorothy getting the biggest bed is so cool.
25:57 Favourite part 😂, Manilla you’re one of a kind and so lovable ❣️
I am running out of works to express my amazing aw of you all. Garrett once again your videos make me feel like I am right there with you on your adventures. Mind blowing. ❤❤❤❤❤
Right! I don’t even have words. I just love what they are putting out there. I feel like the world needs more bucket list family
I wish I could live i life like these kids. They are happy and trouble free. Key word-free, these kids are free and I have soo much positive envy of them 😊
is it bad that everyday at 11:11 I wish to be the bucket list family when I grow up bahah love you guys
literally love this family with all my heart
From Brazil, super family! Thanks

FANTASTIC film work! Beautiful family!
Love watching your videos every Sunday night from England, its like a lovely reset for the week ahead!!! Your videography Garrett is beautiful and its an incredible tribute to your family and the nature around you. Do you use a different camera from close up and the kids like at 17:24, as it is so delicate and breathtaking. Love you guys ❤💙💚
What an amazing video. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful memories with us.❤
I love your videos I’m sad that your stopping at 300😢but you never disappoint us

Happy birthday to Dorothy and Gee!🎉💚💙🌺🌼🌟🎂🎈🎈
November 6th
I was born on November 6th
And my father was born November 6th!!
In the foreign country all most I’m alone in my birthday!
Always I bought a cake for myself but for 3 years I stopped buying a cake
I love this family and they give me hope and joy!
Sooooo, I pre-ordered 3 copies of Jess' book (gifts). I keep checking to see when it is supposed to come because I forget. Wish it was coming out before Christmas.
It releases on February 6th
One of the best. Thank you Bucket List Family!
We traveled to Madagascar end September early Oct n we were also fortunate to be guided by Ephram and John! Incredible guides
20:16 Cali was letting his intrusive thoughts take over in this bit.😳😄
The chamelion tail in your eyes Garrett and Dorothy 😍
❤❤❤
Just bought your book and it is “THE BEST BOOK EVER”≥….!
What a great video. Thank you for sharing! 🙏
Thank you for another great adventure. As always I look forward to your next
4 things: 1. I totally agree with what you said in the beginning of the video about books…… 2. Dorothy is becoming sooo beautiful, and all your kids are so funny and intelligent,such a pleasure when they explain the things they’ve seen and done during the travel. 3 I loved those quick details scenes you filmed in the jungle, such a big quality and so amazing, well you are improving your filmmaking year by year. 4. I love you so much ❤
I love the emotions you guys make me feel thankful to you guys forever and ever❤
Wow, what an exciting trip!! I learn as much as the kidos! Not sure I could of went out there at night! I always learn and enjoy with the FAM!! Thanks for sharing! xoxo
This video gave me a lot of positive emotions! ❤️ I've been with you from the beginning! 💚💙
Dorothy, Manila, & Cali You three kids are so fortunate to have Garrett and Jesse for Wonderful Parents! ❣️. For all of you to get such Real World excursion Lessons is so cool! God Bless all of YOU! 🙏🏻🤗👍👏😎😇❣️😘
Already week 260 🥹!!
Another amazing short film !
The shots are always the moment of the presence, your films are always filled with so much appreciation, excitement, and beauty storytelling 💛
The music throughout your short films are so connecting and being so much life well still hearing the nature and your guys voices !!
Dorthy, Cali and Manila are so smart, they remember life experiences that should be provided for all children, they have learnt and are still learning the beauty of life , the dangers , the safeness, beautiful and life knowing facts of our world.
They express so much knowledge just by viewing/ telling the story of there day/week and that’s incredible!!💛💛
Another amazing short film, can’t wait for more ( again the edging and music is unreal 😻)
Omg so pretty
hi from Malta! been watching you for a few years now but had no idea you visited Malta! love your videos, they always make me feel a sense of peace and happiness. I got every country that you visited on my bucket list 😊
Cali and Manila look so identical in the opening clips. ❤
the fluff balls sleepin' in the tree were cute
Enjoying seeing your family's adventures 😊xx
We went to Madagascar in 2018 for 3 weeks! What an amazing place. Holds such a special place in my heart
The chameleons that are escaped into the forests of Hawaii are creating havoc with the native birds that are left. I guess they are native to Madagascar. What a very fun video. I loved the
tiny frogs, the lemurs and the sleeping 4 little fluff balls (birds). Thanks much. Oakland CA
I've heard some people find it extraordinarily difficult to be faced with the amount of poverty there, especially the starving and begging children. I wonder how you and the kids found and handled that?
You are incredible! I know that you experience ups and downs, but the fact remains that you are a model for the whole world!
And Cali is too strong to talk to lemurs! 😂👌 Very nice video!
Madagascar's jungle is like Mother Nature's wild wardrobe malfunction - a riot of colors, a cacophony of creatures, and a botanical ensemble that screams, 'I woke up like this!' Visited the place few years ago for our TV show episode and the jungle beauty is definitely one of a kind. It's one of the many countries I would find ways to visit all over again.
my favourite youtube family since day 1♥️
Oh @Jessica,can’t wait for your book I’ve preordered 😊
This is so cool, I was just here Sept 2022, we also did Consulte of Monaco, La Varangue in Tana then onto Mantadia Lodge in Andasibe, waking up to the call of Indri-Indri was so special ❤❤❤
I love chameleons. There's quite a few in my garden, and I feel blessed that they're there.
they are magical mystical creatures!!
💞🙏💕🙌💓
I can’t wait to get my book
Love my Amazon updates
It’s a count down
Im interested just watching this😮😮😮😮
First of all a amazing video 💚. Second thing is that I just want to ask you how do you parenting that perfect. I’m really scared for my future. If I have kids I don’t want to make something wrong or anything bad.
I hope you could come to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 I think you’ll have fun there, there is a lot to see in the wild life and it’s very kids friendly 👍🏻
Excellent video, as always! Thanks for sharing your family and adventures with our family! Also, if I'm ever on a scavenger hunt, I want John on my team 😂
