Day 1: Arrival in AntananarivoOn the first day, your journey begins with your arrival in Madagascar. We will pick you up at Ivato Airport in the capital city of Antananarivo and take you to your overnight accommodation at Villa Sibylle. If you have any specific food and beverage requests for your arrival, please let us know in advance so we can take care of it for you. |
 |
Day 2 from Antananarivo to Ankan’y NofyAfter the chaotic city of Antananarivo, you will head east for the first time, where the landscape becomes greener and the air noticeably warmer. Along the way, you can visit the Peyreiras Reserve (also known as Madagascar Exotique). You will traverse and leave behind the dense rainforest as you continue towards the east coast. The climate is humid and warm, with vegetation not as lush as in Andasibe, but the hills remain green year-round. After Brickaville, a turnoff towards Manambato is only accessible by a 4x4 vehicle. At the enormous Rasoabe Lake, a motorboat awaits to ferry you across to the island of Ankan’ny Nofy. The boat ride will take about an hour until you arrive at the dock of the "Nest of Dreams". The bungalows there are somewhat secluded and only accessible by boat, but the diverse animal sightings possible during the day and night more than make up for the slight inconvenience of the location. |
 |
Day 3 - Ankan'y Nofy and SurroundingsExplore the forest to observe a variety of lemurs up close. Indris are easier to spot here than in Andasibe National Park. An optional night boat tour offers a rare opportunity to see the elusive and nocturnal Aye-Aye lemurs. Overnight stay at Palmarium for a unique experience. |
 |
Day 4 - From Ankan'y Nofy to AndasibeEarly in the morning, you will cross the lake to Manambato before driving west on the winding and well-maintained RN 2. Upon arriving near Andasibe National Park, you will check into your accommodation and have the opportunity to listen to the singing calls of the Indri lemurs, which can often be heard even within the hotel grounds. Overnight stay at the "Eulophiella Lodge or equivalent". |
 |
Day 5 - Andasibe and MitsinjoAfter breakfast, we will visit the Mitsinjo Reserve. During the several-hour hike, you will have the chance to see the Indri-Indris and other highly rare animal and plant species. Upon returning to the hotel in the late morning, we will head to the "Vakona Zoo": on the famous Lemurs Island, which is accessed by boat, you will encounter numerous lemurs that were once taken from illegal captivity and "reintroduced" here. However, these animals have lost all fear and will literally jump on the visitors, so it is highly recommended to wear washable rain gear. The nearby forest is home to a large number of crocodiles, the rare "Fossa," and other zoological wonders of Madagascar, which can be explored on a 1-2 hour guided tour. Night walks in the rainforest are possible from the lodge. Overnight stay at the "Eulophiella Lodge." |
 |
Day 6 - From Andasibe to AntsirabeOn the sixth day of your Madagascar tour, you will travel from Andasibe to Antsirabe via the capital city of Antananarivo. The journey will take you through the vibrant suburbs of the capital, then through Behenjy and Ambatolampy. You will stop for lunch in one of these two towns and enjoy a meal at a local restaurant. Afterward, you will continue on to Antsirabe, an important economic hub in Madagascar. The drive from Antananarivo to Antsirabe is approximately 170 kilometers and offers stunning landscapes along the way. Antsirabe itself is known for its charming colonial villas and European flair. You will stay at the Hotel Chambres du Voyageur, where you may have the chance to spot numerous chameleons and even radiated tortoises in the garden. |

Numerous species of lemurs, insects, birds, frogs, and reptiles call the montane rainforest home, and with a bit of luck, you may encounter some particularly spectacular specimens.

You will spend the night back at the Hotel des Thermes, where you can relax from the day's extraordinary adventures. |

You will leave Tulear behind and then drive straight to Ifaty. You will stay at Hotel Belladonna, an excellent hotel that is still considered a well-kept secret on the island. |
 |
Day 13: Ifaty and SurroundingsTake the opportunity to relax from the journey on the beach, go snorkeling/diving, take a boat trip, or even try your hand at kite-surfing, which is particularly popular here.

The cuisine here is naturally focused on the sea, with seafood lovers in for a treat. |
