Upon arrival at the airport, our representative will be waiting for you with a sign displaying your name. You will be transferred to your hotel in Antananarivo, where a special briefing about your upcoming journey will be provided, and any questions you may have will be answered.
After breakfast, your journey continues towards Bekopaka—the village that serves as the gateway to the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park. The road takes you through the Baobab Alley, where you'll make a quick stop to experience the magic of these ancient trees. You'll then drive through a forest of baobabs, pass several villages, and cross two rivers on ferry boats. After the first ferry, you'll stop for lunch in the charming town of Belo sur Tsiribihina. Refreshed, you'll continue to Bekopaka, crossing the Manambolo River by ferry just before arrival. A final half-hour drive brings you to your hotel in Bekopaka, where a peaceful night awaits.
Today, you will spend a full day exploring the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest protected area in Madagascar. The park is home to a rich diversity of wildlife, including lemurs, birds, and reptiles. You will visit the cathedral viewpoint, cross the hanging bridge, and observe indigenous animals such as the sifaka lemur, common brown lemur, and the fossa—the largest carnivore in Madagascar. You will also discover endemic plants, including the palissandre. After lunch, you will continue your excursion into the smaller section of the park.
Your journey continues south to the city of Morondava, with a stop at one of Madagascar's most romantic sights—the "In-love Baobab." Two majestic baobab trees have grown intertwined over the centuries, creating a powerful symbol of eternal love. Many couples visit this spot to renew their vows. Then, prepare for the highlight of the day: the legendary sunset at Baobab Alley. These ancient giants, some over 800 years old, stand silhouetted against the golden sky in a scene that has become the defining image of Madagascar. After soaking in the magic of sunset, you'll continue to Morondava and check into Vezo Beach Hotel for a relaxing evening by the ocean.
Your final morning in Morondava begins with breakfast, followed by a visit to the local market—a chance to soak in the colours, sounds, and flavours of this coastal town one last time. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time to browse for souvenirs and interact with local vendors. Then, you'll be transferred to the airport 2 hours before your domestic flight to Antananarivo. As you board your plane, you'll carry with you the memories of baobabs, tsingy, and the warm hospitality of Madagascar. Veloma—until we meet again!
