After a warm greeting, we'll drive you to your hotel in Antananarivo, where we'll gather for a special briefing about the journey ahead. This is your chance to ask questions, learn about the experiences waiting for you, and get excited about the incredible days to come.
- Day2Antananarivo - Andasibe Mantadia National Park
Your day begins with breakfast, followed by a city tour of Antananarivo. Explore the vibrant market and the historic Queen's Palace, where you'll uncover the rich history of Madagascar. Then, the journey continues east to Andasibe, with scenic views of mountains, landscapes, and traditional villages along the way—with a lunch stop to refresh. Upon arrival in Andasibe, you'll check into your hotel and prepare for an evening adventure: a night walk to spot nocturnal lemurs, frogs, and chameleons under the stars.

Today is a full immersion into Madagascar's extraordinary wildlife. Explore Andasibe Analamazoatra National Park, a dense, humid forest draped in lichens, moss, ferns, and over a hundred orchid species. This is lemur country—home to the indri-indri, the largest lemur of all, alongside diademed sifakas, brown lemurs, bamboo lemurs, and sportive lemurs. The forest is equally rich in plant life, with pandanus, ravinala palms, tambourissa, bamboos, and precious hardwoods like palisander and ebony. With 15 mammal species and over 100 birds—including the endemic Madagascar yellow-browed—every moment is a discovery. In the afternoon, visit Vakona Reserve to interact with lemurs, observe crocodiles, and spot whistling ducks, kingfishers, and other birds.
