5 Star Nature
▲▲▲▲▲Moderate
The diversity of nature and the charm of the landscapes offered by Masoala and Nosy Komba ensure an unforgettable thirteen days. Masoala National Park, in north-east Madagascar, is covered by tropical rainforest and holds more than half of the country's endemic species, including the red lemur and the flat-tailed geckos. It opens onto Antongil Bay, home to Nosy Mangabe, whose lush forest shelters reptiles and the famous nocturnal aye-aye. Then fly to Nosy Komba, a beautiful island still covered with dense forest, to discover its black lemurs, its fine-sand beaches and crystal-clear seas perfect for diving.

This is one of our signature tailor-made journeys in Madagascar. We've walked it many times — alone, with friends, with our own families — and we've shaped it into something we're genuinely proud of.
You'll be in a small group, led by a local guide who knows the trails, the families along the way, and the best place to stop for lunch. Nothing rushed. Nothing generic.
