The Western Baobab Safari
12 days













This tour focuses on three areas of Madagascar: part of the Eastern slope, the central Highlands and the midwest. You shall also meet the two major tribes of Madagascar: the Betsimisaraka, the Merina and the Sakalava.
You will experience the rainforest forest and will discover its unique wildlife of Andasibe also called Périnet – before heading westwards for a 3-day river expedition in a local dugout pirogue throughout the forest and gorges along the Tsiribihina river. This western part is an open reserve of biodiversity. You shall then reach the Tsingy de Bemaraha, a world heritage by the UNESCO. After that you will head southwards to the Kirindy Reserve and the Baobab Avenue in Morondava through a red lateritic road and the savannah.
You will spend a leisurely relaxing time by the beach of Ankimony after such adventure inside the heart of Madagascar under the sun with an average temperature of 30° centigrade. In brief, you will simply experience all you have been dreaming about the real Madagascar.
You will spend some leisurely journey at Belo sur Mer by the sea located about 60km in the south of Morondava – a famous diving site.
