12–17 October
From the highlands to the baobabs
Off on the Malagasy adventure. Antananarivo, Antsirabe, and already our eyes are full: hills, terraced paddies on red earth, and emotion in front of so many smiles. Then a total and magnificent change of scene, all the way to the first baobabs.
17–19 October
Caves, tsingy and the Avenue of the Baobabs
Nights at the bivouac under the moon, caves full of stalactites, the tsingy, forests of limestone blades where you squeeze through narrow corridors. And the Avenue of the Baobabs at sunset, timeless. A first week already behind us.
19–22 October
Off the beaten track
On 19 October the real off-the-beaten-track adventure begins. Rivers to ford, ferries to wait for patiently, bridges you have to dare to cross, red samphire as far as the eye can see, octopus trees and the spiny forest. In the evening, the sun sinks into the Mozambique Channel behind the baobabs.
Late October
Lemurs and the deep south
Lemurs and sifakas, dunes, deserted white-sand beaches, and arrival at the end of the world, at the southern tip of the island. Three intense weeks, physically and mentally exhausting, magical in every way, from which we bring back a thousand things.
