From the Highlands capital of Antananarivo to the legendary Avenue of the Baobabs, this 10-day expedition crosses the wild heart of western Madagascar, by road, by river and on foot, through ancient limestone cathedrals.

Beschrijving van de reis

Descent of the Tsiribihina River: spend several days drifting on a peaceful river, camping on isolated sandbanks under the stars and passing by Malagasy villages along the river. Tsingy de Bemaraha: hike through a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring an immense otherworldly labyrinth of razor-sharp limestone pinnacles, suspension bridges and hidden caves. Avenue of the Baobabs: witness Africa’s most famous sunset, walking among 800-year-old giant trees that dominate the dusty horizon. Endemic wildlife: spot rare lemurs (such as the dancing Verreaux’s sifaka), unique chameleons and predatory fossas in their natural dry forest habitats.

    Today, the landscape tells a dramatic story of transformation. As you move westward, the cool, green highlands gradually give way to vast sun-scorched plains. The temperature rises, the air becomes drier, and the landscape becomes raw and elemental.

    Board a traditional dugout canoe and let the Tsiribihina carry you through one of the most remote and best-preserved wilderness corridors in Madagascar. The river is your highway — and nature is the only soundtrack. The last morning on the water closes the river chapter, as you arrive in Belo-sur-Tsiribihina around noon. After a leisurely lunch, the adventure continues on land — and things get rough.

    Your first encounter with the Tsingy de Bemaraha begins gently. The Petit Tsingy offers a breathtaking introduction to this otherworldly limestone world — all the drama on a more accessible scale. One of Africa’s most extraordinary natural spectacles, the Grand Tsingy is a cathedral of sharp limestone pinnacles rising from the earth — ancient, strange, and absolutely unforgettable. It is the centerpiece of the entire expedition.
