The Paramount Journey - 11 days
All-in-one tour
Antananarivo – Andasibe – Morondava – Baobab Avenue Nosy Be
A journey of wonders and cinematic scenery. All like in the dreams, but live. Feel the vibe of the tropical winds and the island’s atmosphere and people. Travel through lush green vegetation and breathe in the fresh air of the rainforest, home to endemic species in the island’s eastern part.
You will then fly west to the land of the majestic baobabs, these upside-down trees that almost climb into the sky yet remain deeply rooted. They have stood there for hundreds of years, waiting for you to visit.

You’ll enjoy the paradisiacal turquoise sea and have the chance to observe marine life, even swim with turtles, while immersed in the warmth of the Mozambique Channel at Nosy Be.
