Day 1
Arrival into Antananarivo
Your adventure begins in Antananarivo, Madagascar’s lively capital, where terracotta rooftops rise over rolling highlands. It’s a gentle arrival point with a chance to rest and adjust before the wild calls. Here you meet your guide, and have a hotel room close to the capital for the night.

Day 2
Andasibe and Mantadia National Parks
The reward here is immersion: three days to slow down, listen, and learn from the forest. Andasibe is a living gallery of movement and sound: the haunting call of the Indri lemur at dawn, the shimmer of geckos in sunlight, the scent of wet earth after rain. The nearby Mantadia section offers wilder terrain with untamed tracks, towering trees, and sightings of diademed sifakas leaping through dappled light. In the evenings, night walks reveal the forest’s hidden world: chameleons, frogs, and stars caught between leaves.

Day 5
Akanin'ny Nofy
What follows is contrast, after days in dense rainforest, the rhythm softens. Glide along the Canal des Pangalanes, a peaceful journey through reed-lined waterways where fishermen drift and kingfishers flash blue in the sun. At Akanin’ny Nofy, you’ll explore forest trails alive with lemurs and orchids, cross the lake at dusk to spot the elusive Aye-Aye, and visit local villages where daily life unfolds at the water’s edge. Days end to the sound of waves on the shore and the scent of vanilla on the breeze. Mid-range lodge located inside Palmarium Reserve Breakfast & dinner (Lunch not included) Drinks not included

Day 7
Saint Marie Island
The final chapter of this family adventure is relaxation. Sainte Marie lies off Madagascar’s eastern coast, a slender island of coral lagoons, coconut palms, and unhurried charm. Spend your days snorkelling vibrant reefs, cycling through spice plantations, or watching humpback whales breach offshore between July and September. Time here expands: long swims, sand between toes, quiet evenings by the water. It’s a fitting balance to the wild energy of the mainland with soft light, easy laughter, and the luxury of space to be together.

Day 10
Return to Tana
You have the final day to unwind and relax on the island before flying back to the capital, Tana, where you have the night at the hotel where this journey began. A journey that moves lightly across Madagascar’s varied landscapes to reconnect as a family through shared discovery and to experience adventure in its purest form.

Day 11
Begin your Journey Home
This morning, transfer to the airport for onward travel; your mind’s full of forest calls, river light, and the hush of island dawns. From rainforest canopy to coral shore, this is a journey through wonder: a story written in birdsong, boat wakes, and warm wind. The kind of journey that lingers long after you’ve left the island, reshaping what adventure means. Meals at own expense Drinks not included
