Is This Trip for Me?
On this fantastic beach holiday you’ll get to discover Madagascar‘s stiriking east coast.
- Your journey will begin in the capital of Antananarivo where the sights and sounds of this unique city will have you intruiged by the mix of old colonial French influences and the new, modern Madagascar.
- Next you’ll travel to the lush and charming village of Andasibe to explore the Perinet Reserve and the larger Parc National de Mantadia in a search for lemurs among the rich and diverse foliage. Get in touch with the Indri, the largest of the lemur species along with Brown and Bamboo lemurs.
- Extending down the eastern coast of Madagascar along the Indian Ocean, the Pangalanes Canal is a series of natural rivers, lakes and man-made waterways. We recommend an excursion to the canal to experience a number of unspoiled beaches and small villages on its banks, and the procession of boats on its waters, as well as meet the people whose lives and cultures are based around this intruiging landscape.
- Situated in the Analanjirofo Region in Madagascar, Mahambo is a coastal town facing the Indian Ocean, famous for surfing and resort holidays. Located 90 Km north of Tamatave (3h), you will drive along the Madagascan East coast where you can buy coconuts straight from the roadside. Do not hesitate to stop at one of the shops bordering the road to discover unusual tropical fruits.
- Your next stop will be the wonderful island paradise of Sainte Marie, a sliver of paradise off Madagascar’s northeast coast. A notorious pirate hideout in the late 17th century, it’s believed that this tropical islet once provided shelter for almost 1000 marauders.
With so much to explore and discover on the island, Madagascar is perfect for adventurous travellers, history-lovers and naturalists.
