What to expect
Antananarivo
Welcome to Antananarivo! Your driver guide will meet you at the aiport upon arrival. Transfer to your hotel and brief of your tour. Settle in, take in the city’s hilly skyline, and let the island air wash over you. Tonight is for resting and dreaming of the adventures ahead.
Ville Thermale d'Antsirabe
We roll south to Antsirabe, winding past rice paddies and red-earth hills. Stop for roadside smiles, taste fresh fruit, and soak in the highland charm. Antsirabe’s colonial streets and thermal springs set a mellow, welcoming vibe. City tour by pousse pousse. Dinner in a local restaurant. Night at your hotel.
From Antsirabe to Ranomafana, we visit Ambositra to meet Zafimaniry woodcarvers – masters of intricate, UNESCO-listed designs. By night, follow your guide into the rainforest for a magical nocturnal walk, where lemur eyes glisten under torchlight. Dinner and night at your hotel.
Visit of the Zafimaniry Workshops
Nocturnal visit on the edge of Ranomafana NP
Manakara
Descend from rainforest to coast as we head for Manakara. Palms sway, the air turns salty, and the Indian Ocean greets us. Watch the landscape shift from emerald to blue – a road trip with a built-in climate change (the fun kind). Dinner and night at your hotel.
Guided walk in Ranomafana NP
Hop aboard a boat and glide along the Pangalanes Canal – freshwater meets the ocean in a dreamy mix of fishing villages, sandy banks, and laughter from kids waving on shore. Picnic under palms, then drift back with the sun on your face. Dinner in a local restaurant. Night at your hotel.
Sahambavy
We drive to Lake Sahambavy, Madagascar’s only tea plantation. Sip a fresh brew as the calm water mirrors the mountains. Tonight is for slowing down, enjoying the lakeside breeze, and maybe a cheeky sundowner by the shore. Dinner and night at your hotel.
From Sahambavy we pass Fianarantsoa’s old town for a short visit before stopping at Anja Community Reserve – home to playful ring-tailed lemurs and giant granite boulders. By evening we reach Ranohira, gateway to the spectacular Isalo National Park. Dinner and night at your hotel.

Sail out in a traditional pirogue, snorkel over coral gardens, and spot tropical fish darting through the reef. Back on shore, enjoy grilled seafood, beach vibes, and that slow Malagasy rhythm where time feels optional. Lunch on the beach. Afternoon at leisure. Dinner and night at your hotel.
Antananarivo
Depending on your flight schedule, transfer at the airport. Fly from Tulear back to Antananarivo. One last chance to stroll markets, hunt for souvenirs, and taste a final bite of Malagasy street food. The capital buzz contrasts perfectly with the peaceful south you just explored. Farewell dinner and night at your hotel.
