Travel story
When I placed my hand on the rugged trunk, the baobab was breathing.
The sensation of walking into the depths of the forest, over rocks, across rivers.
See, listen, climb,
Madagascar is a place encountered with the five senses.


Starting from Antananarivo, after enjoying an encounter with indri in the Perinet forest,
we head west toward the avenue of baobabs. We transfer by ferry and also experience trekking in the UNESCO site of Tsingy.
This is a Madagascar-only exploration journey woven from endemic nature, richly varied landscapes, and diverse modes of travel.
Signature points
Feel Madagascar’s vastness and diversity while traveling
From Antananarivo to Perinet, Antsirabe, Morondava, and Bekopaka.
Traveling hundreds of kilometers by bus and ferry, the scenery shifts from grasslands to forests, rocky mountains, and sandy roads.
The essence of a Madagascar trip is to "keep moving while feeling the changes in the environment."
The avenue of baobabs that changes its expression by time of day
Near Morondava in western Madagascar, visit the distinctive avenue of baobabs.
The landscape looks completely different in the brightness of day and the changing light at dusk.
It’s a highly popular spot for both sightseeing and photography.
Two treks to enjoy across different terrains
At the Bemaraha World Heritage site, two trekking courses are available: Petit Tsingy and Grand Tsingy.
You can choose the difficulty based on fitness and time, allowing you to enjoy the natural experience without overexerting yourself.
Both offer the rare experience of walking through fissures and limestone formations.
