Highlights:

  • The amazing diversity of landscapes of the Highlands and the East Coast
  •  A remarkable wildlife in Andasibe-Mantadia National Park
  •  A smooth and passionating approach to lemurs
  •  The atmosphere and the light of Nosy Be

No wonder Madagascar inspired a Disney animated movie of the same name-no less than five percent of the world’s animal and plant species are unique to this island nirvana, populating its dry desert, its deep green rain forest, and it’s long and stunningly beautiful coastline. Offshore is equally abundant, with dozens of islands and a barrier reef providing shelter to the marine life. All this beauty has attracted many groups, giving the island a melting-pot culture; it’s easy to see why, once they visit, people don’t want to leave

The meeting with the Indri Indri, the largest lemurs in the reserve Perinet is always an emotional time. The local guide will tell us about his habits and his legend. Andasibe-Mantadia National Park (Perinet) has a unique wildlife, orchids and other rare plants; many species of lemurs, reptiles, and amphibians … this exceptional nature can be explored on foot between waterfalls, rivers and rainforests. End our trip with relaxing stay in Nosy Be to enjoy the beach.
