Travel story

A forest of towers carved by wind, red sculptures that catch the light.
In the depths of silence, the eyes of lemurs gleam.
This island speaks without sleeping.

—
A 12-day itinerary crossing Madagascar, where endemic nature and culture live on, combining wildlife watching and landscape experiences.
Encounters with lemurs and chameleons, baobab avenues, and the Red Tsingy — unique natural wonders await.
From night safaris and village visits to tours of World Heritage sites and memorials, the trip explores the island's charms from multiple angles.

Signature points

Red Tsingy — Earth's sculptures carved into red soil

The remote Red Tsingy in northern Madagascar, where towers sculpted by wind and rain stand in rows.
Its otherworldly reddish-brown landscape is a unique sculpture of the Earth like no other.

Night encounters: Lemurs and the Aye-aye forest

At Perinet, Palmarium, and Berenty, not only daytime safaris but also night walks are offered.
Animals revealed by the beam of a flashlight show a completely different side from their daytime appearance.

Memories reaching the sky: Baobab avenues

Twisted bark, thick straight trunks, shadows rising in the sunset—
From twist baobabs to the baobab street, baobabs reflect the island's 'time' in their scenery.
