Wildlife, whales, rainforest and beach

This popular two-centre Madagascar itinerary entails a three-night stay in the wildlife-rich rainforest of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, followed by a relaxing week at lovely Princesse Bora Lodge on the holiday islandf Ile Sainte Marie. In season (July to early September), the waters around Ste Marie offer world-class whale-watching - Humpbacks migrate to these waters to calve and mate (they don't feed there).

Begin the trip with a night in the vibey capital Antananarivo, after which an easy 3hr,30 minute drive with your dedicated, personable and professional Malagasy guide will take you to the eastern escarpment. Aside from wonderful lemur-watching for iconic species like Indri, you'll be able to learn about inspiring conservation initiatives in place to preserve the rainforest and its fascinating wildlife. You can visit the Association Mitsinjo nursery and plant an endangered, endemic tree as part of their reforestation programme - what better way could there be to literally put something back into Malagasy soil?

Return to the capital and fly to idyllic Ile Sainte Marie, once a notorious pirate hangout and site of the world's sole Pirate cemetery. Offshore, the chilled Ile Aux Nattes makes for an essential day excursion. Princesse Bora Lodge is definitely our accommodation of choice on Ste Marie - the staff are welcoming and the lodge has all it takes for an enjoyable stay. There's a spa, watersports centre and a variety of activities on offer.

This sample itinerary - ideal also for families and for honeymooners, can be tailored to suit your individual requirements and travel schedule. Ask us for details.
