Wake up and enjoy an invigorating early morning walk in search of the Fossa and the many endemic lemurs of the Kirindy Forest. We then journey north, crossing the Manambolo River until we reach Tsingy De Bemaraha National Park.
The Tsingy are limstone forests created by ground water eroding the plateau above, creating needlelike formations. Upon arrival we will walk amongst the Little Tsingy or relax beside the Tsiribinhina River...... if you can say it, then we’ll buy you a drink!
We will depart early for the Greater Tsingy of Beramaha National Park. Traverse the park on a series of aerial suspension bridges and walkways. Keep an eye out for the rare species of bird that inhabit the park and be amazed by leaping lemurs that cross the spiny pinnacles with ease.
After breakfast we will begin our journey south, until we reach Baobab Alley. We will spend some time amongst these giants of the plant world. Wander among these magnificent trees and join us as we plant a baobab sapling and support the growth of new trees in this unique forest. In the late afternoon we will continue to Morondava for the night.
After an early breakfast we set off on our long journey to Antsirabe. This is a day of travel through the winding mountains, highlands and picturesque rice fields of Madagascar. Upon arrival we will enjoy a local meal and perhaps explore the hidden gems of this smaller city.
Antsirabe, famous for its precious stones and fossils. In the morning, we will take a walk around the city centre and learn about the importance of this area as a central trade route pre and post colonisation. The city is well known for its architecture as well as its horse drawn carts and locally produced beer!

Today we will spend the afternoon at the Analmazaotra National Park looking for a variety of lemur species, including indri, bamboo and mouse lemur. In the evening we head out for a night walk to look for chameleons, frogs, sifaka lemurs and a host of other nocturnal species.
Cross Lake Rasoabe and the Pangalanes canel by boat, to reach Palmarium Reserve, home to 12 different species of lemur including the aye aye. You will be staying in a stunning eco lodge here in a beautiful private reserve.
The private reserve of Palmarium is also known as Ankanin’ny Nofy which translates from Malagasy as ‘nest of dreams’. It is spread across 50 hectares of peninsula land in the Lake Ampitabe area on the East coast of Madagascar, nestled on the banks of the Pangalanes channel and the Indian Ocean. Separated from the latter by thin coastal sand dunes, the landscape otherwise comprises of littoral forest with relatively flat terrain and some well-kept trails for exploration
Spend the morning wandering the many trails of the reserve and in the evening visit Aye Aye Island. The aye aye is one of the most intriguing and unique members of the lemur family. Viewed with superstition by local communities, the aye aye are often chased from their forest home. Aye Aye Island was established as a safe refuge for these unique creatures.
