THE UNKNOWN LAND OF MAKAY

17 days /16 nights

This 17-day tour will lead you to the south of Madagascar by taking the famous national road number 7. Along the way, you will discover various endemic species of flora and fauna during the wide-ranging hikes offered by the national parks such as Ranomafana with its bamboo lemurs, Isalo with its multicolored massifs as well as its oases and its natural swimming pools. The Anja community reserve with its lemurs Cattas will be also on the schedule. Then, the unusual trekking in the splendid canyons of the still almost virgin massif of the protected park of Makay will promise you a great adventure and will amaze you by its unique biodiversity. Your stay will end with a well-deserved relaxation at the beautiful beach of Ifaty before returning to the capital, where you will discover the city of Antananarivo with its ancient architecture and the sacred hill of Ambohimanga which was the cradle of the Merina monarchy.
