This morning, take a flight to Ifaty (Toliara Airport). On arrival, you will be led to check into the hotel in Ifaty. Then, you can freely arrange the rest of the day.

In the morning, a 20-minute drive will take you to the Reniala Reserve, a private protected piece of spiny forest. On this oddest habitat on the earth, you can find an entire family of bizarre spiny octopus trees, the oldest and largest baobab of Ifaty, some rare species of reptiles, birds, and, of course, lemurs - Madagascar’s national treasure. Drive back to the hotel after the tour.

Today is a leisure day in your Madagascar trip package.

Today, your driver guide will escort you on a 5.5-hour road trip from Ifaty to Ranohira. We will stop by Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park, a unique ecosystem which sees how southern dry spiny forests transit to the highland woods in central Madagascar. our guide will take you to spot some of the 8 species of lemurs.

On arrival in Ranohira, check into the hotel right on the edge of the Isalo National Park, our next destination. We will go on to admire a sunset through the famed Isalo Window, sandstone formations stacked with a hole left in the middle, which allows golden rays of the setting sun to pour in - a photogenic beauty that would sweep anyone off their feet.

We will have a full day excursion in Isalo National Park, one of Madagascar’s biggest tourist cards, which features spectacular rugged sandstone terrains formed during the Jurassic Period. After today’s sightseeing, the driver guide will escort you back to the hotel.

After breakfast, we will drive to Ranomafana. Before getting there, we will stop by Anja Community Reserve, Ambalavao and Fianarantsoa respectively.

Once in Ranomafana, check in at the hotel and take a break. When the darkness falls, go on a night safari - a popular activity for nature explorers to this country - in the wilds to spot nocturnal lemurs, frogs and chameleons, elves injecting life and mystery to the moonlit woods.

In the morning, continue with a day safari at the Ranomafana National Park, where you will explore around in the company of your driver guide and a local park guide. This park boasts rainforests on mountains and was established for the discovery of bamboo lemurs, a species previously thought to be extinct. After the tour, return to the hotel for rest. The hotel we have arranged for you today features two private jacuzzis flowing natural hot water, where you can wind down after a whole morning’s hike. Jacuzzing here is very popular so don’t forget to reserve it in advance.

Head for Antsirabe today via RN7 national road. On the way, pay a visit to the town of Ambositra, to appreciate its UNESCO-honored native wood-crafting art. Pass by local houses and balconies, and, as your driver guide commentates, observe unique carved patterns on the wood, which reveal family values and imply Indonesian and Arab influences.

After arriving at Antsirabe, go on for hotel check-in.

Let’s drive to Betafo and spend three hours touring local villages and rice fields, which the district is attractive for. Enjoy a local-style meal at a local house at noon.

Later, drive to two crater lakes near Antsirabe to take in their breathtaking natural beauty. Lake Tritriva is one of the crater lakes we will visit and the region’s most admired. It somehow has a shape similar to the entire island of Madagascar, with the deepest area at over 160 m (525 ft.). In the end, our driver guide will escort you back to the hotel.

This morning, drive about 8 hours to Andasibe. Upon arrival, check in at the eco-lodge we carefully prepared for you and have a good rest. At night, enjoy a guided walk around the hotel for another night safari.

Today, you will first appreciate Andasibe’s biodiversity at the Analamazaotra National Park, which stars the largest lemur Indri Indri, known for their loud wails that can be heard more than one mile away. Spending most of time living high up on trees, Indris are now critically endangered mainly due to the clearing of their natural habitat for agriculture, which is why both these critters and the area are so valued. If you spot a fur ball lolling on a branch, that’d be a woolly lemur!

After lunch, move your steps to Vakona Reserve (Lemurs Island), a private land where lemurs are mostly fed as it is too small to provide enough food. Lemurs here are so used to humans that you can get up close and personal with them, as well as capture their adorable moments meanwhile.

Afterwards, pay a visit to a local village and market to experience Malagasy daily life. In Andasibe Marketplace, you will be overwhelmed by various stalls selling food, clothes and groceries, and see if you can discover something novel!

Start your day with a short visit to Voimma Forest. The reserve is managed by local villagers, which blends environmental stewardship with local economic development well. Look for more lemur species like orange-limbed diademed sifakas as they leap from a branch to another here.

We will then embark on our road trip back to Antananarivo, and on the way stop at the Reserve Peyrieras Madagascar Exotic, which shelters Madagascar’s some most treasured lemurs. Actually it is more like a chameleon paradise, and take the chance to spot the biggest chameleons Calumma parsonii here.

Today, your local driver guide will lead you to visit the King’s Palace on the Royal Hill of Ambohimanga, where King Andrianampoinimerina (reigned 1787 – 1810) who initiated the unification of the island of Madagascar once lived. Here, you get to see how traditional European-style elements blend into indigenous architecture, as well as appreciate furniture, art collections and décor that reflect the lifestyle and aesthetic taste of past royal families on this land.

Here's the end of your Madagascar travel package. The driver guide will escort you to the airport to catch your international flight. If you want to tailor this tour for an extension, please feel free to let us know!
