Overnight flight to Antananarivo (Tana)
You will arrive in Antananarivo early in the morning and have some time to rest. Later, you will travel to Andasibe, visiting the Peryeiras butterfly and repltile centre en route. The town is at an altitude of 1500m and so has a cooler climate. The warm springs and thermal baths here were a real draw in the 19th century. A stroll around the streets will bring you in contact with some fantastic little shops selling Malagasy artefacts and handicrafts and as Antsirabe is also home to precious and semi precious stone vendors you might get the opportunity to see the stones being cut and polished. Hotel - 2 nights.
Perinet National Park
Today you spend a full day in the Perinet NP. The parks are home to the teddy bear-like Indri, the largest of Madagascar’s lemur species, as well as other forms of flora and fauna and a wide array of bird life. Listening to the piercing yet melancholy cry of the Indri in the morning is an evocative experience and for those who are prepared to follow them through the thick rainforest, the reward is often a close-up view of these beautiful creatures. A group of five Diademed sifaka have recently been re-introduced to Perinet from Mantadia, and if you are lucky, you may spot one of these beautiful creatures. In the evening, take a twilight/nocturnal walk, looking out for the nocturnal species of lemur by catching their eyes in the torchlight. (B)
Antsirabe
Head for Antsirabe and explore the streets of this charming town, well known for its precious and semi-precious stones. Hotel - 1 night (B)
Fianarantsoa
This morning enjoy a city tour of Antsirabe. There should be time to visit some artisanal workshops before we visit one of the local lakes. In the hills west of Antsirabe lie Lac Andraikiba and Lac Tritriva which are both volcanic in origin. The deep blue lake of Lac Tritriva is impressively surrounded by sheer cliff. You then travel to Fianarantsoa where we spend the night. Hotel - 1 night (B)
Ranohira
Explore Fianarantsoa, the academic, intellectual and Catholic centre of Madagascar. Lying in the heart of Madagascar’s agricultural centre, the city is well known for its tea and wine and has the superb backdrop of Mt Kianjasoa (1374m). In the afternoon the scenery changes dramatically as you head to the small town of Ranohira, our base for exploring Isalo National Park. Hotel - 2 nights (B)
Isalo National Park
Spend the day exploring Isalo National Park. Isalo is a vast region of wind-polished and water-scoured rock towers, deep canyons, gorges and oases often described as Eden. During your time you will go walking in the magnificent Canyon des Makis in search of cheeky ring-tailed lemurs and the Verreaux Sifaka. You'll also visit the ‘Piscine Naturelle’ (natural swimming pool), a beautifully lush spot in such an arid landscape, where we can swim and relax. Perhaps the magic is just to soak up the sheer beauty of the park, the combination of coloured eroded rock forms, strange plants and enveloping silence make this one of the most captivating places in Madagascar. Please bear in mind that Isalo is a big national park and there will be a certain amount of driving involved today (driving to the Canyon des Makis takes around 1h 30-2 hours). (B)
West coast
You leave early in the morning for the west coast On arrival there is time to visit the bustling coastal town of Tulear. Hotel - 1 night (B)
Morondava and the Alley of Baobabs
You have a relaxing start to the day before catching a flight north to the coastal town of Morondava known for having one of the finest climates in Madagascar. The beaches here are great and stretch for miles, and a common sight is that of local pirogues (flat-bottomed fishing boats). Just prior to sunset you will arrive at the famous ‘Alley of Baobabs’ where the plan is to spend sunset. This is the best time to see these amazing trees as the colours at this time of day are spectacular, making for a perfect photo opportunity Hotel - 1 night (B)
4WD to Bekopaka
Today is a long driving day as you head north of Morondava towards your next destination – the wonderful Tsingy. Travel past baobab forests, desert and cross the Tsiribhina river by local ferry boat. The western landscape is arid but has a beauty all of its own. Your destination is the village of Bekopaka, your base for discovering the amazing Grands and Petits Tsingy. Hotel - 3 nights (B)
Vazimba tombs and the Grands Tsingy
A UNESCO world heritage site since 1990, the area has unique geography, well preserved mangrove forests and some amazing bird and lemur species. The Grands Tsingy is famed for its pinnacles, a forest of limestone pillars and limestone plateaux. Some of its needles are several hundred metres high! You will trek throughout the Grands Tsingy. The karst landscape and deciduous forest are a refuge for rare and endangered species and in the park there are over 11 species of lemur, 90 species of bird and 50 types of reptile, some of which you might be lucky to spot on your hike. Following the trek around the Petits Tsingy head to Manambolo gorge, home to many interesting rock formations, and to the Tombs of the Vazimba tribe. These ancient people were the original inhabitants of Madagascar and grew no more than one metre tall. (B)
