The Western Baobab Safari
12 days

A Journey tailored for the intrepid.

This tour focuses on three areas of Madagascar: part of the Eastern slope, the central Highlands and the midwest.

You will navigate the Tsiribihina River on a three-day river trip expedition. It’s a path less traveled, where every bend in the river reveals a new surprise, from waterfall with turquoise natural swimming pool into the gorges home of lemurs and birds into the valley of Bemaraha with its typical Sakalava villages and Baobab forest.

Marvel at the Tsingy de Bemaraha: in the labyrinth of limestone at the UNESCO-listed Tsingy de Bemaraha, find yourself in an otherworldly realm. It’s a natural fortress of vertical rocks forest, where you’ll feel the thrill of exploration, crossing suspended bridges and navigating through this unique geological wonder.

You will get the arid beauty of the Kirindy Reserve to observe more endemic wildlife then you will stroll the Baobab Avenue. As the sun sets, walk among the ancient Baobabs on the Avenue. These majestic trees, standing tall for centuries, are not just botanical wonders but silent witnesses to history, encapsulating the spirit of Madagascar.

Meet the Betsimisaraka, Merina, and Sakalava tribes through this tour. Their stories, traditions, and smiles are as integral to this journey as the landscapes you’ll traverse.

If you have extra time, you will be able to go to the sun-kissed beaches of Belo sur Mer (Extension trip) where the ocean whispers tales of yore. This seaside haven is also a diver’s paradise, offering a colorful underwater world teeming with life.
