Madagascar, Land of Contrast

▲▲▲▲▲Challenging

This 21-day tour reveals the many faces of Madagascar. First you explore the western part of the red island, climbing the sharp peaks of the Bemaraha National Park — a unique karstic stone forest of Tsingy. The Kirindy reserve introduces the famous "Fosa", the biggest carnivore of Madagascar nicknamed "the little Puma", and the majestic Baobabs await for an amazing sunset. The journey continues to Ranomafana National Park with its bamboo lemurs, and before returning to Antananarivo you hike the eroded Jurassic massif of Isalo and the Zombitse National Park with its endemic birds, baobabs and lemurs. A few days of relaxation on the beach of Ifaty precede the eastern finale in the Analamazaotra special reserve, home of the Indri Indri.

About this trip

A trip we'd happily do again next month

This is one of our signature guided 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.
