MADAGASCAR BEMARAHA TSINGYS GETAWAY
ItineraryRates and DatesExtensions+ Info
More and more travelers are focusing their trip on a specific area of the island, and of course we applaud this wise decision since our island is not exactly small in size.
Western Madagascar is home to some of the most spectacular and unique landscapes on the island. This getaway has been designed for those who have only a few days but wish to delve deeper into one of the country's most fascinating natural regions.
The route leads us to the extraordinary karst massif of the Tsingys of Bemaraha, a mineral labyrinth declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, where we will cross its impressive via ferrata suspended between limestone needles. A unique experience that allows you to explore this almost unreal landscape from the inside.
In the nearby Kirindy Forest Reserve we will enter the dry forest of western Madagascar, one of the most unique ecosystems of the island and refuge of the famous fossa, the largest predator of Madagascar, as well as various species of lemurs, reptiles and endemic fauna.
The trip culminates in Morondava, in front of the iconic Avenue of the Baobabs, where these thousand-year-old giants draw one of the most memorable sunsets in Madagascar.
A short but intense getaway that allows you to calmly discover the extraordinary natural diversity of western Madagascar and to better understand the uniqueness of its landscapes and ecosystems.

Tips
All our departures called "PRIVATE", will have all the services exclusively, except for some transfers made by the hotel itself that will be in common with other clients.
The order of the visits and excursions can be modified according to local constraints (air schedules, runway or road conditions, for example). If certain visits and/or excursions cannot be carried out for any reason beyond our control, we will try to substitute them whenever possible.
CHARACTERISTICS OF OUR TRIPS
Our trips are designed from knowledge, we have been residents on the island for more than 20 years (2006-2026) and our team carries out more than 17 annual surveys throughout the geography of the island, to verify on the ground the state of parks, trails, hotels, new developments 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 we do not have a policy of environmental protection. We are updated almost daily.
Any tour in Madagascar leaves room for the unexpected, hence we ask for your flexibility in approaching the trip as travelers and not as conventional tourists.
To participate in our trips, a minimum level of physical fitness is required, otherwise you will not be able to enjoy the parks, landscapes, or some of the animist villages farther away from the conventional routes.
Our adventure trips are not for everyone, they are participatory trips, in which you will not be made to row or wash your cutlery, for this we give employment to 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 incompatible 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, no toilets or showers) if right next door we have a minimally correct accommodation and that our passage can benefit the local population. We always try to include the best hotels available, but sometimes we are forced to use simple lodges because the location does not have more hotel infrastructure or because it is located in an exceptional place that deserves the stay.
Madagascar does not have a tourist infrastructure like neighboring countries in their safaris, but that gives it the charm of an unspoiled and uncrowded country (150,000 tourists per year). We ask for an open spirit and large doses of patience to our travelers. That way you will enjoy your trip much more.

A phenomenal trip
Just a few notes to thank you for your hard work and patience. It was a phenomenal trip, and I'm already itching to go back. I was delighted with the destination, the selection of activities, and the organization. Nomad Photo Expeditions Photography Group.

An Extraordinary Journey
I highly recommend it—the service is direct, clear, and friendly. Sylvia, Jaume, and Sergi are lovely.
Small, well-organized groups.
Santa, our guide, is the best.
And Madagascar—with its lemurs, its baobabs, its people, and its landscapes—stole my heart; I don't know which one to choose.
A dream come true!!
We're really looking forward to going back and exploring more parts of the island. And we'll definitely be doing it with Indigo Be!!!

Back home and trying to take in everything we’ve learned. Thank you, Silvia, for joining us on this fantastic trip—it’s been a privilege to have you as our guide.

An authentic experience
I chose the "Baobab Expedition" itinerary with Indigo Be, and it was a truly unforgettable experience... Indigo Be is a travel agency run by young professionals who love Madagascar and know it inside and out, and who share their passion and enthusiasm for the country with travelers.
Our guide, Jaume, has ensured that everything ran smoothly day after day, thanks to his efficiency and kindness.
Thanks to the entire team of professionals at Indigo Be, and a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Jaume "for a job well done." A big hug!!!!!
Elisabeth Segui BAOBAB EXPEDITION
A unique, surprising, and unforgettable island
Madagascar—it sounds like a faraway place, an animated movie, and impossible animals. It’s all that, and also a little-visited island nation that exudes African spirit, softened by Asian influences.
Canoe down a river through jungle canyons and sleep on its beaches, safe from crocodiles; venture deep into the jungle and listen to the sounds of its most distinctive animals, the lemurs; dive among tropical fish with the sound of humpback whales in the background; strolling at sunset along an avenue lined with giant baobabs; discovering breathtaking rock formations shaped like thousands of needles; savoring seafood seasoned with a touch of French influence; or simply strolling along a beach, waiting for the fishermen to return. All of that is Madagascar.
Madagascar promises a break from it all, adventure, and exoticism... and with Indigo Be, you can have it all!
Thank you for being such wonderful hosts on this unique, amazing, and unforgettable island.
Antonia Rubio BAOBAB EXPEDITION
Experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life
Amid shadowy jungles, deep rocky canyons, and red-clay moors, I encountered sights and experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life. And what better way to explore them than with the help of local experts like Indigo Be.
