Day 1
Home - Antananarivo
Today, we arrive at Antananarivo Airport. Tana, as the capital is universally known, has been the home of Malagasy power for 3 centuries. There's a huge amount of history and culture to discover, as well as some unexpected wildlife species. There are also some excellent markets and shops that stock products and crafts from across the country at very competitive prices. Upon arrival, we meet our local team and transfer to the hotel.

Day 2
Antananarivo - Andasibe
After breakfast, our first stop is at the Farm of Pereyras. This farm is dedicated to butterfly breeding but is also home to chameleons, frogs, snakes and bats. Have lunch at a restaurant on the way, then continue to the park of Andasibe. The thick, humid mountain rainforests are filled with the hooting, grunting and wailing of 11 different species of lemur, including the fabled indris. Many lemurs here are so well-habituated to human visitors that they barely acknowledge approaching people. This makes for some wonderful wildlife encounters. This Unesco-protected area comprises 2 distinct parks. Upon arrival, we will check into a hotel. Then, we will head to a local community-run reserve for a night walk to spot the nocturnal animals.

Day 3
Andasibe National Park - Lemur Island
In the early morning, we walk with a local guide to discover this protected area. It is mainly covered with primary forest peculiar to the east side of Madagascar. Many rare and endemic species can be found in this rainforest. The biodiversity is amazing; we can encounter Indri indri, the largest of the lemurs, here. His behaviour is fascinating, and your guide will explain everything about him. Many other species live there, such as the grey bamboo lemur and the woolly lemur. The flora is also very interesting; there are several species of medicinal plants. After lunch, we visit the crocodile park, which allows us to approach the crocodiles in all serenity and the island with the lemurs to observe the lemurs in their natural habitat. We will then return to the hotel. Mid-range lodge located just outside Andasibe-Mantadia NP Breakfast (Lunch & dinner not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 4
Andasibe - Antananarivo
After breakfast, we drive back to Tana. On arrival, we will go on a city tour. Antananarivo is the capital city of Madagascar and the largest city on this big island in the Indian Ocean. Antananarivo means "the city of a thousand", a reference to the 1,000 soldiers who supposedly protected the newly founded city during the reign of the revered King Andrianjaka in 1610. Antananarivo is nowadays called Tana by the local inhabitants. It will surprise you with its rice paddies, Asian appearance, numerous stairs up steep hills, palaces, cobbled streets and churches. Antananarivo has a population of about 1.5 million people. In the evening, we will enjoy the sunset at Royal View.

Antananarivo - Antsirabe
After breakfast, we continue our journey to the South by the national road N7. We will stop to visit the foundry and the city of Ambatolampy. Then, we continue to Antsirabe. We cross the region of the Highlands, which offers a mosaic of colors between its rice terraces, cultures and traditional red brick houses of its many villages. Here, the warm and communicative population is undoubtedly another great encounter on our way. We reach Antsirabe in the late afternoon.

Antsirabe - Ranomafana
We stay on road N7 and progress towards the south. We shop around Ambositra and visit the Zafimaniry artisans' workshop, seeing carved wood or a piece of marquetry box made with care. We stroll around town and then continue to Ranomafana. We are in the heart of the local area of Betsileo, the highest part of the Madagascar Highlands, and the road is winding more and more. We turn to the east and arrive in the rainforest in the late afternoon. Upon arrival, we will check into the hotel.

Day 7
Explore Ranomafana National Park
After breakfast, we enter the Ranomafana National Park. This is one of the most beautiful sights the primary forest and rainforest in Madagascar can offer. We walk in the park with a local guide in this humid environment. It would be best if you took your waterproofs for the visit. Here, we can find many species of lemurs, such as the golden bamboo lemur (Hapalemur aureus), the red-fronted brown lemur (Eulemur fulvus), the red-bellied lemur (Eulemur rubriventer). We can also meet some rare and endangered species, such as the greater bamboo lemur (Hapalemur simus). In botanical terms, the park is a genetic reservoir of some rare and endemic plant species, as well as many medicinal plants. We will have lunch nearby. During the nocturnal visit, we first wait for the mouse lemur to show up. After a few minutes of watching them jump and move around, we walk along the roadside to search for other nocturnal animals, such as chameleons, frogs, and birds.

The Isalo ruin form massif is a continental sandstone plateau from the Jurassic era. There are many rock formations with different shapes. Nature has adapted to dry climates. This park has a different ecosystem; endemic rupicolous flora such as aloe, euphorbia, pachypodium and kalanchoe. We will picnic in the Tapia Forest. Some walks around here are possible, and going to the summit offers a splendid view. We will enjoy the sunset at Isalo Windows.

Day 12
Ranohira - Tulear - Ifaty
We leave our hotel, progress to the south, and pass through the surprising Ilakaka village. It was a rush related to sapphire mining, which attracted more than 100,000 people in the early 2000s. Now, the enthusiasm is down. We will visit the Zombitse NP. This park protects one of the last stands of dense, dry forest in southern Madagascar, a bird-rich island of foliage in the heart of a denuded semi-desert landscape. The park's 36,300 hectares shelter an astounding 72 recorded bird species and 8 lemur species. We then continue south, passing Tuléar and stopping for a city tour. Then, we transfer to the fishing village of Ifaty, an ideal place for diving and relaxation.
