Overview

  • From the misty forests of Andasibe to the quiet shores of the Pangalanes Canal, this journey explores two distinct sides of eastern Madagascar.
    In Andasibe, early morning and night walks take you into the rainforest in search of the Indri and other endemic wildlife. The journey then continues by boat to Akanin'ny Nofy, where Lake Ampitabe, coastal forest, and sandy beaches create a more relaxed setting. Guided walks bring you closer to several lemur species, with the Aye-Aye among the nocturnal highlights.
    A short journey combining rainforest, wildlife, and time by the water.
