Day 1 - Antananarivo to Andasibe via PerinetThe road from Antananarivo to Andasibe was once notorious for heavy traffic, mainly trucks loaded with containers slowly making their way from the port in Tamatave towards the capital. Tight, mountainous hairpin curves, especially in the breathtaking valleys of the forest corridor between Manjakandriana and Ambodiamontana, pose a challenge for truck drivers. Along the way, you have the opportunity to visit the famous private reserve "MadagascarExotique" owned by the renowned researcher Andre Pereyras, where an incredible variety of reptiles, amphibians, and lemurs pose fearlessly for the camera in a nearby forest area. Moramanga is the next stop before heading to the nearby area of Analamazoatra. Stay overnight at the "Eulophiella Lodge," where an exciting night walk in the rainforest can also be organized. |

Day 2 - Andasibe / MitsinjoThe Andasibe-Mantadia National Park is the official title given to the forest area operated as part of the national park program. It consists of two separate forest sections of drastically different sizes, with the smaller one receiving the most visitors. This smaller area, the Analamazaotra Reserve, is the main attraction in Andasibe-Mantadia in terms of numbers. Due to its smaller size, it is advantageous for observing the Indri and Diadem Sifakas and its consistently secondary forest, which provides a balance between those who do not want a guided garden path and those who do not want to go through dense jungle or steep inclines. Despite its small size, it is hard to pinpoint where it ends inside, making it easy to feel completely immersed in the rainforest. |

Day 3 – Mantadia or MitsinjoMantadia is located north of the village of Andasibe and requires a means of transportation to reach its entrance. Mantadia has a large proportion of primary forest and is much more challenging to hike than the Analamazaotra Reserve. This probably explains why it is much more attractive to some and much less so to others. Many wild animals may be harder to spot here, but on the other hand, for those who shy away from human visits, it may offer easier insights into certain wildlife. Mantadia provides a more secluded home for them. For those who do not wish for strenuous hikes, an alternative in the easily accessible part of Andasibe/Mitsinjo is recommended. |

Day 4 - Let's keep going...either to Antananarivo or to Ankan’y Nofy.On this day, it all depends on which tour Andasibe is connected to: you may head to Ankanin’Nofy if it was a tour linked to the East, go south to Antsirabe if the RN7 variant is the main tour, or return to Antananarivo if the northern part of Madagascar is next on the itinerary. The tour ends in the afternoon of this fourth day. |
