Upon landing at the airport, you will be met by your safari guide who will be holding a sign post with your name on it. We’ll take you to your accommodation in Antananarivo where we’ll give you a special briefing regarding your tour ahead and address any questions you might have.

After breakfast at the hotel, we will go to the Queen’s Palace to learn about Madagascar’s royalty. You can see colorful goods and learn more about the Malagasy way of life in general at the market. Following the visit, we’ll take the drive to Antsirabe. We’ll make a brief stop at Ambatolampy en route to see the capital of Madagascar’s pot factories. We will get to Antsirabe in the late afternoon. We will begin by taking a rickshaw ride through the city as part of our city tour.

After breakfast, we’ll have a tour of Antsirabe’s city center, stopping by the city’s well-known miniatures and zebu horn factory. Then we’ll take a rickshaw trip along the avenue. After Antananarivo (the capital) and Toamasina, where the principal harbor is situated, Antsirabe is the third-largest city in Madagascar. Because of its large international port, Toamasina is referred to be Madagascar’s entrance. Further along the island’s eastern coast is where you may find it. We’ll proceed southwest on the National 34 route, which connects Antsirabe and Morondava. We will stop multiple times along the journey to take beautiful shots of the spectacular scenery, which includes mountains, zebus, gold mining, and local villagers.

After breakfast, we’ll drive to Bekopaka, a town that serves as the entrance to the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park. We’ll make a quick halt here as we pass through the Baobab Alley to get a taste of this heaven. After the tour, we will travel through a baobab forest, pass by a number of communities, and take ferry boats across two separate rivers. After the initial ferry, we’ll make a stop in Belo sur Tsiribihina for lunch. We’ll continue to Bekopaka after lunch. We will cross the Manambolo River, another river, a few kilometers before Bekopaka. After the ferry, we will travel for roughly 30 minutes to get to the Olympe du Bemaraha Hotel in Bekopaka, where we will spend the night.

We will explore the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park today, where a variety of lemur, bird, and reptile species may be found. The Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park is the largest protected area in Madagascar and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the perspective in the park, we will be able to see the cathedral, the hanging bridge, and the numerous native creatures that call this area home, including the sifaka lemur and common brown lemur. Additionally, the largest carnivore in Madagascar known as the “fossa” and wild birds will be visible. We will also witness a variety of native flora, including the palissandre. We’ll continue our tour into the park’s smaller area after lunch. The Olympe Du Bemaraha Hotel in Bekopaka is where you’ll spend the night.

After breakfast, we’ll head south to Morondava. We’ll pass by the “In-love Baobab” en route, a rare sight of two enormous baobab trees that have grown together. Many couples gather here to reaffirm their love since this tree represents the uniting of two lovers. After that, we’ll keep driving to Baobab Alley to see the most famous sunset in all of Madagascar. One of Madagascar’s most well-known attractions, the baobabs in this area have been there for eight hundred years. After witnessing the sunset, we carry on to Morondava, our final stop for the day. We will check into our hotel when we get there and settle in for the evening.

Following an early breakfast, we’ll return to Antsirabe. We will enjoy visiting numerous villages along the road, including schools if this is something that interests you. Explore the half-desert environment or simply sit back and relax in the automobile. Your overnight stay will be in Antsirabe’s Vatolahy Hotel.

After a late breakfast at the hotel, we will return to Antananarivo. You will encounter beautiful landscapes along the way, and you’ll stop for lunch at a renowned eatery to sample duck liver among many other dishes. The Le Tripolitsa Hotel in Antananarivo will serve as your home for the night.
