Baobabs, Rock Forests and River adventures 10D/9NTsingy de Bemaraha, MadagascarMadagascar

Experience Details

Baobab-alley-Madagascar

The adventurous West! On this trip, cover all the essentials of Madagascar – the lemurs, the massive baobabs and the spectacular and unearthly ‘stone forests’. Like all of Madagascar, transportation can be an adventure and here one can opt for an adventure camping journey by a river boat (or canoes) as well (instead of a flight). This is the hot dry area of Madagascar in the western shadow of the Highlands. Here, climb the UNESCO World heritage site of the Tsingy ‘Stone forests’ of Tsingy de Bemaraha, visit the wetlands and salt mines, take a Mangrove tour, take the Instagram worthy photo of the Avenue of Baobabs at sunset and wander around the biologically rich forest of Kirindy Private reserve!

Experience Details

Sainte-Marie---Lagoon

Eastern Madagascar manifests the raw beauty of Madagascar – from the tropical rainforests to the Island of Ille St. Marie. Start with a visit to the small, but action-packed reserves of Andasibe – track your first lemurs and hear the loud songs of the Indri Indri – the largest of lemurs. Then proceed along the amazing Canal des Pangalanes – a series of natural rivers, lakes and man-made waterways about 600 kms in length.

The final destination is the exotic island of Ile St. Marie – the erstwhile bastion of pirates and now a dream piece of heaven with its pristine beaches and forests. Dive for lovely corals, traditional pirogue rides in the calm bays, witness the migration of Humpback whales (June to September) or just chill on the postcard perfect beaches.
