The Incredible Treasure of the Island
▲▲▲▲▲Moderate
Your adventure begins in the capital of Madagascar where you will take a flight to reach the southwest coast of the island, in Toliara: known as the city of the sun as it is always sunny. Then, you will drive up to the famous national road number 7 while crossing the villages of sapphire seekers. The baobabs and the multicolored Mahafaly tombs will adorn this road. You will also have the opportunity to discover the park of Zombitse with its dancing lemurs before exploring Isalo with its multicolored massifs and its oases. Then you will go down to Sarodrano which is a small fishermen's village as if it is placed on the water on a fine sand bank forming a peninsula. After that, you will have a good moment of privacy with a pleasant relaxation at the beautiful beach. And to finish, the tour will lead you to the Eastern part of the island in Andasibe where you will discover the diversity of the fauna within a luxuriant vegetation. The rainforest of Analamazaotra will give you a great joy when you meet the biggest lemur of the planet: Indri Indri.

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.
