LUXURY MADAGASCAR HOLIDAYS

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

With so much to experience, you could happily spend months exploring the island of Madagascar. For those a bit shorter on time, this two-week holiday itinerary is perfect, packing all the classic highlights into one remarkable trip.

You start your adventure in Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, a dazzling rainforest home to a great diversity of flora and fauna including the famous Indri lemur.

After a night in the capital, Antananarivo, you fly to Isalo National Park – a sacred landscape dominated by rock formations, canyons and natural pools that provide the backdrop to a rich variety of wildlife. From Isalo you’ll journey to the southern tip of Madagascar to stay on the banks of the Mandrare River, before finishing your luxury holiday to Madagascar with three nights at the tropical paradise of Manafiafy.

DAY 1-3

LONDON – ANDASIBE-MANTADIA NATIONAL PARK

Upon arrival in Antananarivo, you will be transferred by road to your hill-top lodge just a short drive from the Andasibe-Mantadia National Park. The park is famed for its lemur population with the diademed sifaka, common brown lemur and eastern woolly lemur all to be found here. The indri is the park’s most famous species, distinguished by its black and white fur and no tail. Their calls are unique and can travel miles through the thick forest.

You’ll have the opportunity to spot groups of habituated lemurs within walking distance of the park entrance as well as along well-maintained walking trails. As you hike through the lush rainforest you should also keep your eyes peeled for tanrecs, chameleons and the Madagascan blue pigeon. You’ll also have the chance to enjoy night walks around the private park of Vakona.

Stay: Two nights at Mantadia Lodge – full board

Mandrare River Camp | Luxury Madagascar Holidays | 91ºÚÁÏÍø
DAY 8-10

IFOTAKA COMMUNITY FOREST

On day eight you’ll make the journey to your next location on the southern tip of Madagascar. Mandrare River Cap is an isolated property in the heart of Ifotaka whose spiny sacred forests are home to several different lemur species. Day and night walks will bring you encounters with ring-tailed, Verreaux’s sifaka, white-footed sportive and mouse lemurs. The birdlife is just as rich with scops owl, malachite kingfisher and Verreaux’s coua all to be spotted.

Whilst the wildlife is the main draw of Ifotaka, a visit here is also a chance to immerse yourself in the rich Malagasy culture. You will have the opportunity to learn about the customs of the local Antandroy tribe and experience their traditional way of life first-hand.

MANAFIAFY

From exploring wildlife-dense parks, it’s now time to completely unwind at a secluded, luxury beach lodge.

The bay itself is protected with calm waters that are perfect for swimming and snorkelling, whilst the soft sands provide a comfortable spot from which to watch the ebb and flow of the tide.

Those yearning for a wildlife fix can take a motorboat into the mangroves in search of vibrantly-coloured birds, whilst those looking for total privacy can enjoy a picnic on one of the nearby uninhabited islands. Between mid-June and mid-December keep your eyes peeled for passing dolphins and humpback whales.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by 91ºÚÁÏÍø – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.
