Travel story

With animals whose names I didn't know
and trees I'd never seen
there was a gentle distance to all of them

-
This itinerary is a 6-day program starting from Antananarivo and visiting Morondava and Kirindy in the west.
You will admire the baobab avenue scenery at dawn and dusk, and observe rare flora and fauna in the Kirindy Reserve.
Although the itinerary includes long travel distances, it is organized with a focus on nature and landscapes.

Signature points

Sunrise and sunset scenes at the baobab avenue

Visit the baobab avenue, a symbol of western Madagascar, at both dusk and dawn. Experience the contrasting light and shadow that change with the time of day.

Unique ecosystems observed in the Kirindy Reserve

Walk through the reserve surrounded by dry forest with an expert guide and observe endemic species up close, such as lemurs, ring-tailed lemurs, and reptiles. Night walks are also available.

Red dirt roads where the journey itself becomes the scenery

The journey from Antananarivo to Morondava is long and includes many unpaved roads, but the red earth stretching past the car window and the village scenery reflect Madagascar's rustic everyday life.
