 | Day 1 : Paris – Antananarivo On
your arrival at the international airport of Ivato, our team will
welcome you and take you to your hotel. The guide will give you a
briefing on your stay in Madagascar. Night and breakfast in the hotel |
 | Day 2 : Antananarivo – Antsirabe From
the airport of Ivato, at our departure for the town of Antsirabe, the
charm of the landscape will fill us with strong emotions. All along the
road, the ricefields alternate with the villages with small houses made
up of red soil, the zebu-driven carts, and the farmers ploughing their
land with traditional tools, which is a show that our eyes will enjoy
tirelessly. A small stopover at Ambatolampy, for the inevitable visit to
the workshop of ironwork. Night and breakfast in the hotelIn Antsirabe, the colonial architecture of the buildings will plunge us into a very particular atmosphere. In this town, the walks around the surrounding rural areas will offer us a large breath of fresh air. |
 | Day 3 : Antsirabe - Miandrivazo After
Antsirabe, heading for Miandrivazo by following the RN34 road. A road
full of charm, with very changing landscapes. Up to Betafo, it’s the
green setting of the countryside which predominates. And then, little by
little, the green setting leaves room to a dry savannah where a few
isolate trees stand. Bee-eaters and tolohos brighten up the journey. Night and breakfast in the hotel |
| Day 4 : Miandrivazo – Masiakampy – Start crossing down the Tsiribihina We
will run along the 30 kilometres’ track between Miandrivazo and
Masiakampy to reach the riverside of Mahajilo where our barge is waiting
for us. On this first day of our mini-cruise across the Tsiribihina
River, we will enjoy seeing the beauty of the landscapes through which
we are passing. The deep gorges are shelters for lots of animal and
plant species. Then, our arrival at Anosinampela will give us the
opportunity to enjoy the superb waterfall which flows down from the
calcareous cliff to reach a natural pool. Full board on the camping site |
 | Day 5 : Begidro –Ambatomisaina When
leaving Begidro, the second day of our journey across the Tsiribihina
River will start with the view of the ballet of the canoeists punctuated
with their laughter and the “Salama” (a very familiar word for the
Malagasy people to greet each other) shouted out loud by the people on
the riverside. We will also see comb ducks, couas, herons or else the
kingfishers which populate this region. Full board on the camping site |
 | Day 6 : Ambatomisaina – Belo sur Tsiribihina – Bekopaka The
last days on the river are all a great occasion to discover the life in
the villages which border the river. We will then disembark at
Antsiraraka, and after, we will continue toward Belo sur Tsiribihina. To
stretch our legs a bit, we will have a visit to this small market town
which is very important for the Sakalava living in the region of Menabe
because the Bathing of Relics or the Fitampoha is carried out there. We
will then reach Bekopaka. Dinner and night in the hotel |
 | Day 7 : Bekopaka – Small Tsingy – Bekopaka The
National Park of the Tsingy of Bemaraha has been listed as a UNESCO
world heritage in 1990. It is a massif of calcareous rocks which took
shape some 5 million years ago. The landscapes which were formed from it
are just spectacular. These millions of years of erosions shaped
cutting rocky edges and deep canyons where some primary forests shelter
endemic plant species and lots of lemur species. We will then start with
the visit to the Small Tsingy, which will be preceded by a canoe ride
across the gorge of Manambolo where some caves can also be seen there,
provided that we respect some taboos. Dinner and night in the hotel |
 | Day 8 : Bekopaka – Conquering the Big Tsingy – Bekopaka The second day at Bekopaka will be spent visiting the Big Tsingy. Reaching the summit of the Big Tsingy demands quite some good lungs and a good physical condition. This walk would reveal us a beautiful panoramic view. Return to the hotel. Dinner and night in the hotel |
 | Day 9 : Bekopaka – Morondava All along the track which leads us to Morondava, we will pass by the famous Baobab Avenue. We will have a stopover there for the inevitable traditional photo shooting at the feet of these majestic trees. We will then continue toward Morondava. We will take the time to appreciate the nightlife which is so particular in such coastal cities of Madagascar. Night and breakfast in the hotel |
 | Day 10 : Morondava – Antananarivo If the departure hour of the flight back to Antananarivo gives us the time for a stroll, we will visit this town with its sandy streets, its bustling market. Then we will go to the airport. Night and breakfast in the hotel |
| Day 11 : Antananarivo – Paris Schedule permitting, we will have a walk in the town centre before getting back to the international airport of Ivato. Taking off for Paris. End of services |
