Itinary in details
- Day1Antananarivo
Welcome to Madagascar! As you step out of Antananarivo Airport, our friendly representative will be there to greet you. The drive to your hotel takes you through the lively streets of the capital, offering a glimpse of its unique culture and architecture. After settling in and freshening up, we'll head to La Marais for a delicious dinner—a blend of traditional Malagasy and international flavours. Then, it's back to the hotel for a good night's rest before the real adventure begins.
- Day2Antananarivo to Andasibe-Mantadia National Park
After breakfast, we'll hit the road to Andasibe, winding through lush highland landscapes and breathtaking scenery. Our first stop is Mitsinjo Reserve, a community-run conservation area where you'll be introduced to Madagascar's incredible biodiversity—lemurs, chameleons, and vibrant plant life await. After checking into your hotel, the culinary adventure continues with a hands-on workshop at Relais de Mantadia, where you'll learn about local ingredients and traditional Malagasy cooking. As night falls, a guided walk through VOI Reserve reveals the forest's nocturnal secrets under a canopy of stars. This is Madagascar at its most magical.

Early morning, the whole group will head into the primary forest with a local guide. Everyone will be amazed by the Indri-Indri—the biggest lemur of all! Kids and adults will love learning about its calls and behaviour. We'll also spot grey bamboo lemurs, woolly lemurs, and interesting medicinal plants. After the walk, we'll drive back to Antananarivo and check into our hotel.
