Itinerary

1. Day 1: Antananarivo to Morondava

   • Arrive in the seaside town of Morondava. 
   • After checking into your beachfront accommodation, walk around the town or stroll along the beach. 
   • In the evening, seek out a local restaurant for a barbecue dinner.

2. Day 2: Morondava to Bekopaka

   • After an early start, travel to the Avenue of the Baobabs to watch the sunrise. These magnificent trees are often referred to as the ‘Tree of Life’ as, during the wet season, they absorb water and store it in their trunks. 
   • Afterwards, travel to Bekopaka, the gateway to the Bemaraha National Park.

3. Day 3: Tsingy De Bemaraha National Park

   • Enjoy an early breakfast and head into the Big Tsingy in the Bemaraha National Park. A series of imposing limestone shards grow out of the ground like a stone forest, so it’s no surprise that tsingy translates to ‘walking on tiptoes’. 
   • Spend the day exploring the park, watching for lemurs – there are 11 species here – and be sure to get a bird’s-eye-view of the tsingys from the hanging bridges.

4. Day 4: Tsingy De Bemaraha National Park

   • Explore the Manambolo River on a morning canoe trip, then hike around the Small Tsingy. 
   • Climb through karst pinnacles to get to the impressive viewpoints across the park.

5. Day 5: Return to Morondava

   • Return to Morondava in time to see the sunset at the Baobab Alley. 
   • In the evening, perhaps head to a beachfront restaurant for a farewell dinner with your travelling companions.

6. Day 6: Final Departure

   • Final departure from Morondava.

   The visit can be extended if you wish to discover the hidden gem of Madagascar.
