Eco-Discovery: Along the water's Edge

Share:

Introduction

Starting from the capital, Antananarivo, your journey begins eastward. First, from Tana to Andasibe, where you'll encounter the world's largest lemurs, the Indri-Indri. Then, at Akanin'ny Nofy, you'll explore the rainforests of the East and their hidden natural treasures, discovering how magnificent and preserved the world can be when we listen closely to its animals.

The second part of your itinerary takes you on a total immersion in the East of Madagascar, along the Canal des Pangalanes, one of the longest man-made navigable waterways. Over 300 km, you'll enjoy 3 days of navigation and 2 nights of camping in paradisiacal locations. You'll glide at the leisurely pace of local life, in the serenity of the Pangalanes Canal. You'll visit villages, meet local people, discover artisan crafts and traditions, and taste local products while bathing in its peaceful waters.

At the end of this navigation, you'll return to the mainland to explore the evergreen forest, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Then, you'll join the legendary National Road 7, crossing its spectacular and unique landscapes. Finally, you'll end on a high note at an isolated beach nestled in the heart of a stunning lagoon in Ifaty.
