Madagascar FROM THE JUNGLE TO THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL
ItineraryTarifas y FechasExtensiones+ Info
This route through the south and east of the island is an ideal route for a first approach to the island. This is an ideal proposal for demanding clients in terms of hotel category, since some of the best accommodations on the island are located here. It also includes visits to 6 of themost interesting national parks and reservesin the area. From the tropical rainforests of Andasibe-Mantadia, the descent towards the south will lead us to discover colonial cities such as Antsirabe and rainforests declared World Heritage Site such asRanomafana National Park to finally enter the foothills of the Isalo massif and the spectacular reserve of baobabs in Reniala. To round off the trip, we offer a choice of two beach stays, one onthe private island-hotel paradise of Tsarabanjina or on the Anjajavy peninsula, an important biodiversity hotspot in the northwest of Madagascar, which perfectly combines beach and nature in its purest state in an isolated corner preserved from mass tourism.

Tips
The order of visits and excursions can be modified depending on local imperatives (air schedules, condition of tracks or roads, for example). If some visits and/or excursions could not be carried out for any reason beyond our control, we will try to replace them whenever possible.
CHARACTERISTICS OF OUR TRIPS
Our trips are designed from knowledge, we have been residents on the island for more than 18 years (2006-2024) and our team makes more than 17 annual surveys throughout the geography of the island, to verify on the ground the state of parks, tracks, hotels, novelties and discover new treasures that still, to this day, remain hidden in our island-continent and that for the moment we try to preserve until there is an environmental protection policy. Our update is practically daily.
Any circuit in Madagascar leaves room for the unexpected, hence we ask for your flexibility when facing the trip, as travelers and not as conventional tourists.
To participate in our trips, a minimum physical shape is necessary, otherwise you will not enjoy the parks, landscapes, or some of the animist villages furthest from the conventional routes.
Our adventure trips are not for all audiences, they are participatory trips, in which you will not be made to row or wash your cutlery, for this we employ the local population, however, we want your passage through the island to cause the least possible impact, neither environmental nor social, that is where we ask for your collaboration.
The hotels are varied, from some 5 * to simple lodges, depending on the hotel infrastructure. Adventure is not at odds with comfort, we will never camp (free camping is prohibited in Madagascar, it is only possible in “authorized” places although they do not have any infrastructure similar to a campsite, neither toilets nor showers) if right next door we have a minimally correct accommodation and from which our passage can benefit the local population. We always try to include the best available hotels, but on some occasions we are forced to use simple lodges because the location does not have more hotel infrastructure or because it is in an exceptional place that is well worth the stay.
Madagascar does not have a tourist infrastructure like neighboring countries in their safaris, but that gives it the charm of a virgin and uncrowded country (150,000 tourists a year). We ask our travelers for an open mind and great doses of patience. That way they will enjoy their trip much more.

Elisabeth Segui BAOBAB EXPEDITION
Isla única, sorprendente e inolvidable
Madagascar; suena a remoto, a película de dibujos y a animales imposibles. Es eso, y también un país-isla poco turístico que rezuma savia africana edulcorada con toques asiáticos.
Descender un río entre cañones de selva y dormir en sus playas protegidas de los cocodrilos; adentrarse en la selva y escuchar los sonidos de sus animales más característicos, los lémures; bucear entre peces tropicales con el sonido de fondo de las ballenas jorobadas; pasear al atardecer por una avenida plagada de baobabs gigantes; descubrir unas impresionantes formaciones rocosas con forma de miles de agujas; degustar su marisco aderezado con tintes de influencia francesa o, simplemente, pasear por una playa esperando la llegada de los pescadores. Todo eso es Madagascar.
Madagascar promete desconexión, aventura y exotismo…y con Indigo Be lo consigues!
Gracias por ser magníficos anfitriones de esa isla única, sorprendente e inolvidable.
