Day 1: Arrive Antananarivo (Tana)
Arrive in Antananarivo at any time.
Day 2-3: Andasibe-Mantadia National Park
Visit the world-renowned upland rainforest, also known as Perinet Reserve, home of the unique Indri, the world's largest lemur.
Day 4-5: Antsirabe / Ambositra
Along the road to the French colonial town of Antsirabe, discover the Merina tombs, passing locals cultivating rice paddies. In Antsirabe, visit Lake Andraikiba or take some free time to explore the quaint town, by foot, bicycle, or in a famous "pousse-pousse". En route to Ambositra, make a stop at a local artisan workshop to gain some insight of some unique handicraft traditions of the region.
Day 6: Ranomafana (L)
Stopping at a local community, listen to traditional music and watch a typical dance as you enjoy a local Malgasy lunch. In the magical Ranomafana National Park, home to 12 species of lemur, we discover the bewildering diversity of endemic plant and animal life including the golden bamboo lemur and red-bellied lemur.
Day 7: Ambalavao
Head south through Madagascar's wine-producing region and enjoy the wonderful changes of landscape along the way. In Ambalavao, we visit a local paper factory where the local artisans share with us their traditional methods of producing a unique, hand-made paper.
Day 8-9: Ranohira/Isalo (B,2D)
Before departing southbound, we stop at the beautiful Anja Reserve to take a short guided walk in search of the resident ring-tailed lemur. Enjoy the fascinating countryside, with the day's drive culminating in impressive views of the Isalo Mountains. Spend day 9 exploring the semi-arid Isalo National Park, with its rocky cliffs, archaeological relics and funeral sanctuaries that create a magical atmosphere of strong contrasts.
Day 10: Depart Antananarivo (B)
Journey across fascinating landscapes of the south-western desert, from Ranohira to Tulear, where we fly back to the capital Antananarivo. En route, visit Mahafaly's tomb and see the remarkable fire-resistant Baobab trees. The tour ends upon arrival into Antananarivo.
