Madagascar HONEYMOON: MADAGASCAR & SEYCHELLES
ItineraryRates and DatesExtensions+ Info
One of the most inspiring voyages to celebrate a honeymoon. A voyage designed for those who wish to begin their new story by exploring some of the most fascinating landscapes of the Indian Ocean, combining the untamed nature of Madagascar with the absolute serenity of the Seychelles.
The route travels through the south and west of the big red island, discovering some of its most emblematic national parks and natural scenery of extraordinary beauty. Throughout the trip we have selected the most charming and characterful accommodations in Madagascar, always respecting the authentic essence of a destination where luxury is experienced in a different way: more intimate, more natural and deeply linked to the territory.
The itinerary takes us through five of the country's most fascinating national parks and reserves. From the iconic Avenue of the Baobabs, one of Africa's most photogenic landscapes, the journey slowly descends south through colonial towns such as Antsirabe, farmland dotted with rice paddies and the World Heritage-listed rainforests of Ranomafana National Park. Further on, the Anja Reserve offers a close encounter with the charismatic ring-tailed lemurs before entering the foothills of the Isalo massif and discovering the unique baobab forest of Reniala, where nature reveals its most sculptural side.
As a finale, the journey continues in the neighboring Seychelles, where the rhythm is transformed and the Indian Ocean becomes the protagonist. We have carefully selected a collection of hotels in Mahé that we know personally, chosen for their discreet elegance, their privileged location and the quality of their services. A perfect refuge to prolong the magic of the trip and enjoy a few days of absolute relaxation in front of the sea.
For those who wish to extend this experience, there is the possibility of adding additional nights or discovering other islands of the archipelago, each with its own character and beauty.

END OF TRIP...............................................
El orden de las visitas y excursiones se pueden modificar en función de los imperativos locales (horarios aéreos, estado de las pistas o carreteras, por ejemplo). Si algunas visitas y/o excursiones no pudieran realizarse por cualquier causa ajena a nuestra voluntad, se intentarán substituir siempre que sea posible.
Debido a la gran demanda durante la Semana Santa, Navidad y Fin de Año y los meses de agosto, septiembre, octubre y noviembre, rogamos reservéis con la mayor antelación posible ya que las plazas son muy limitadas.
CARACTERÍSTICAS DE NUESTROS VIAJES
Nuestros viajes son diseñados desde el conocimiento, somos residentes en la isla desde hace ya más de 19 años (2006-2025) y nuestro equipo realiza más de 17 prospecciones anuales a lo largo de toda la geografía de la isla, para verificar sobre el terreno el estado de parques, pistas, hoteles, novedades y descubrir nuevos tesoros que aún, a día de hoy, siguen escondidos en nuestra isla-continente y que por el momento intentamos preservar hasta que no se disponga de una política de protección medioambiental. Nuestra actualización es prácticamente diaria.
Cualquier circuito en Madagascar deja un espacio a lo inesperado, de ahí que solicitemos vuestra flexibilidad a la hora de afrontar el viaje, como viajeros y no como turistas convencionales.
Para participar en nuestros viajes, es necesaria una forma física mínima, de lo contrario no se disfrutará de los parques, ni paisajes, ni algunos de los poblados animistas más alejados de las rutas convencionales.
Nuestros viajes de aventura no son para todos los públicos, son viajes participativos, en los que no se os hará remar ni lavar vuestros cubiertos, para ello damos empleo a la población local, sin embargo, queremos que vuestro paso por la isla cause el mínimo impacto posible, ni medioambiental ni social, es ahí donde solicitamos vuestra colaboración.
Los hoteles son variados, desde algún 5* hasta sencillos lodges, dependiendo de la infraestructura hotelera. La aventura no está reñida con la comodidad, nunca acamparemos (la acampada libre está prohibida en Madagascar, sólo es posible en lugares “autorizados” aunque no disponen de ninguna infraestructura similar a un camping, ni lavabos, ni duchas) si justo al lado disponemos de un alojamiento mínimamente correcto y del que nuestro paso pueda beneficiarse la población local. Intentamos siempre incluir los mejores hoteles disponibles, pero en algunas ocasiones nos vemos obligados en utilizar sencillos lodges porque la localización no dispone de más infraestructura hotelera o bien porque se encuentra en un paraje excepcional que bien merece la estancia.
Madagascar no dispone de una infraestructura turística como los países vecinos en sus safaris, pero eso le da el encanto propio de un país virgen y poco masificado (150.000 turistas al año). Rogamos un espíritu abierto y grandes dosis de paciencia a nuestros viajeros. De esa forma disfrutarán mucho más de su viaje.
Just a few words to thank you for your efforts and patience. A phenomenal trip that already has me wanting to come back. Delighted by the destination, the selection of activities and the organization. Nomad Photo Expeditions.

An extraordinary journey
I totally recommend it, direct, clear and familiar treatment Sylvia, Jaume and Sergi are charming.
Small, well-organized groups.
Santa is a great guide.
And Madagascar, with its lemurs, baobabs, people and landscapes, has stolen my heart, I don't know which one to choose.
A dream come true!
We can't wait to come back and discover other parts of the island. And certainly with Indigo Be!

Thanks to all the professional team at Indigo Be and ENHORABONAAAAAAAAA Jaume "per la feina ben feta". A hug! !!!!
Elisabeth Segui EXPEDICIÓN BAOBAB
A unique, surprising and unforgettable island
Madagascar sounds a bit like an animated film and impossible animals. But it's true, and it's also an island-country that doesn't attract many tourists, oozing African sap softened by Asian touches.
Descend a river between jungle canyons and sleep on its crocodile-protected beaches; sink into the jungle and listen to the sounds of its most characteristic animals, the lemurs; dive among tropical fish with the sound of humpback whales in the background ; take a sunset stroll along an avenue lined with giant baobabs; discover impressive rock formations in the shape of thousands of needles; taste seafood seasoned with French-influenced flavors; or simply stroll along a beach waiting for the fishermen to arrive. All this is Madagascar.
Madagascar promises relaxation, adventure and exoticism... and Indigo Be delivers just that!
Thank you for being wonderful hosts on this unique, surprising and unforgettable island.
Antonia Rubio EXPEDICIÓN BAOBAB
Experiences that will remain engraved in my memory.
Between shady jungles, deep rocky canyons and red clay moors, I discovered sites and experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life. And what better way to do so than with local experts like Indigo Be.
