15 days on Madagascar
ABOUT
We made an active program, which helps you to plunge into an amazing world of animals and plants of Madagascar national parks.
You will go for a walk along The Avenue of Baobabs. It is a group of 30 meters high tree lining the dirt road. Baobab is one of the thickest trees in the world. 6 of 8 species grow here, on Madagascar. The sunset is the best time for walks among these fantastic trees. And photographers like this very much.
We will visit the Tsingy de Bemahara National Park which total area is 152 hectares. The word “tsingy” means “to tiptoe” in Malagasy language. The park was created for the protection of the unique karst landscapes and 11 diverse species of lemurs and indri in 1927 on west coast of the island. The rocks of limestone plateau are 200 million years and it forms a real “stone forest”. The river Manambolo flows through a picturesque canyon. There are dry deciduous forests on the territory of Madagascar. The park was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the Kirindy Forest you can see fossa besides typical animals of Madagascar. Fossa is a predatory mammal and it looks like a puma. The fossa is also equipped with a long tail that helps it jump from branch to branch. Walking in the park Madagascar exotic we will observe a huge diversity of reptiles, lemurs, beautiful chameleons, geckos and frogs.
We will also visit the Andasibe National Park! It is known as “The music of the forest” as well. The park is 810 hectares and it is a home for the biggest extant lemurs, indri. About 11 species of lemurs, tenrecs, beautiful and diverse reptiles and insects live here. The park is a great place for an observation of birds, including endemic birds: philepitta castanea, blue coua, coral nuthatch. From here we will travel by canoe to the Island of Lemurs. It is a private reserve where more than 60 groups of lemurs, crocodiles and birds live. And also there are medicinal herbs, which grow only in Madagascar. Lemurs will literally jump to your hands!
We will enjoy the beauty of waterfalls and crater lakes during our 2-hour route in the Amber Mountain National Park. From here we will set off to Red Tsingy. It is a stone formation of red laterite (similar to clay) and not of limestone. They are caused by land and clay slides during heavy rain.
A rest on a small resort island Nosy-Saba will be an excellent end of the program. Here we will have a three-day meal, including soft drinks, unlimited use of tennis-court, beach volleyball, pin-pong, kayaking, snorkeling, windsurfing and boat-trips. You can also play golf, go diving, fishing, water skiing and wakeboarding or relax in spa.
