Sensational Flying Safari
▲▲▲▲▲Moderate
This unique safari lets you discover breathtaking places from a different perspective in a short time, with all the long trips done by private plane. The aerial view of the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park is mind-blowing, and driving through these sharp karst peaks — one of the planet's most astonishing geological curiosities, UNESCO World Heritage since 1990 — is simply amazing. You will experience a magnificent sunset at the Avenue of the Baobabs near Morondava, explore Isalo National Park with its multicoloured ruiniform massifs and Jurassic-era oases, and discover the deep south of Madagascar at Ifotaka, with its sisal plantations, sacred baobab and a stay under canvas overlooking the quiet waters of the Mandrare River.

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.
