Day 1
Antananarivo
Your island adventure begins in the city center and capital, Antananarivo. The bustling capital of Madagascar is known as Tana to many travelers. With an open schedule today, you can relax, settle in, or wander through the city’s diverse architectural history. Our guide will meet you at the airport and take you to the hotel. If you arrive early, contact us at Fosa Travel for information on any attraction you can visit in town.

Antananarivo - Andasibe
Day two sets off heading east, where you’ll quickly get up close and personal with the island’s vibrant array of wildlife. Chameleons, lizards, frogs, snakes, butterflies, and Sifaka Lemurs are the few creatures you’ll see first-hand at the Peyrieras Madagascar Exotic Reserve. With many more lemur species, like Indri and ring-tailed, you will head farther to Andasibe, the world-renowned lemur-watching paradise. In the afternoon, you will visit Parc Mitsinjo, where you can find chameleons, snakes, birds, and, most importantly, the biggest lemur species, Indri. When night falls, perhaps your true inner explorer can come alive as you hike through the forest to glimpse night lemurs and other nocturnal friends.

The wildlife adventure continues in the afternoon as you visit Lemurs Island and Crocodile Park. There, you’ll walk among flora and fauna unlike anywhere else on Earth.

In the evening, you will travel by speedboat to another island to see the famous nocturnal lemur, Aye Aye. This species of lemur curls up into a ball and sleeps during the heat of the day, only coming out at night to forage in the forest. Be prepared for this weird little creature with strangely long fingers; its appearance is often described as bizarre.

Day 7
Mahambo - Sainte Marie
You will take a boat to Sainte Marie, an island also called Nosy Boraha. Famous for its endless beaches, this is the best place for sun and beach in Madagascar. Our guide will meet you at the harbour and take you to the hotel. Nosy Boraha is a long, slim island paradise off the east coast of Madagascar. Rumour has it that this remote spot was used as a hideaway for pirates in the 1700s, so be on the lookout for buried treasure.

Day 8
Sainte Marie
On day 8, you will take a day trip to the north of this beautiful island and visit the natural swimming pool. You can swim, take a sun bath, or just relax on the beach. Another day of unwinding and soaking up the sun in paradise. During the whale season (July – September), many humpback whales gather around Sainte Marie for breeding and calving. During this season, instead of going to the north, you will have a half-day whale-watching boat trip. This is one of the best places to view these friendly giants, up close and personal.

Day 9
Sainte Marie
Today, you will take a half-day trip to a small island called “Iles aux Nattes”, located south of Sainte-Maire. You’ll go back in time, as the only way there is by pirogue-dugout canoe. While here, you will travel by boat around the island (which is only 4km in diameter) before visiting the local village. A hike to the top of the island gives a spectacular 360° view. You can walk around this Island in a few hours, provided you don’t stop in at every beach bar for a cocktail.
