Embark on a voyage of discovery to Madagascar, an island country whose unique flora and fauna, amazing scenery and fascinating cultures make it one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations.

You will take in an incredible diversity of landscapes, from the arid plains of Isalo National Park with its dramatic sandstone rocks, to the lush rainforests of Andasibe. Here you will have the opportunity to meet some of the country’s most iconic creatures – including the impressive Indri lemur – and discover endemic plants with the help of knowledgeable guides.

This itinerary concludes with a five-night stay on an enchanting private island off the coast of Nosy Be, where you will stay in a thatched bungalow with uninterrupted sea views. With fine white sands, exceptional corals and turquoise waters literally at your doorstep, there are few finer ways to end an adventure in Madagascar.

    Day 1-2

    London – Antananarivo

    Isalo National Park

     

    This morning you will fly to Tulear, where you will be warmly met by your guide and driven to your hotel on the edge of Isalo National Park. The park, much of which remains sacred to the Bara tribe, is known for its extraordinary landscape made up of sandstone rock formations, deep canyons and caves. Accompanied by an expert guide, you can explore natural pools and lush stream banks, and even visit old burial sites hidden in canyon walls.

    Andasibe National Park

     

    Now comes a completely different but equally fascinating region. You will fly back to Tana before making a three hour drive to Andasibe.

    Also known as Perinet, the Andasibe-Mantadia National Park is renowned for its population of Indri lemurs – the largest of the species. With a number of habituated groups located within the park’s boundaries you can expect some excellent sightings of these iconic animals. Morning walks through the park’s lush rainforest could also show you endemic creatures like the tenrec and the two-foot long Parson’s chameleon, whilst your guide will point out the area’s numerous birds and unique flora.
