Itinerary Rates and Dates Extensions + Info
One of the favorite trips of our honeymooners. Combining a route through the south of the island and the most important national parks of the country with a beach stay in neighboring Mauritius is undoubtedly one of the best ways to start writing the first chapter of your love story. This is an ideal proposal for honeymooners as it includes the best possible accommodations on the island, always bearing in mind that Madagascar does not have the luxurious infrastructure of our neighbor Mauritius. It includes visits to 6 of the most interesting national parks and reserves in the South and East of the country. From the tropical rainforests of Andasibe-Mantadia, the descent towards the south will lead us to discover colonial cities like Antsirabe and rainforests declared World Heritage Site as the Ranomafana National Park to go into the south and the Anja Reserve and its graceful ring-tailed lemurs, to finally discover the foothills of the Isalo massif and the spectacular reserve of baobabs in Reniala. To round off the trip, we offer a selection of hotels in Mauritius that we know personally and that have been selected to make your stay a sublime experience.

  • Tips
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. Due to the high demand during Easter, Christmas, New Year's Eve and the months of August, September, October and November, please book as far in advance as possible as places are very limited. 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.
Harry Fisch ESSENCES OF THE SOUTH
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!!!
Montserrat Ros DISCOVER MADAGASCAR
Impeccable organization
Everything was excellent! I highly recommend both the country—with its contrasting landscapes and people—and the travel agency, which was impeccably organized! Thanks to Sylvia and Jaume for organizing everything, and of course to Luca and Mami for showing us around the whole country!

The Baobab Expedition: Tough but Intense
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. As you saw, the group hit it off right from the first day, and the route was amazing. We highly recommend the Baobab Expedition to all travelers—it’s tough but rewarding.

Lupe Bote BAOBAB EXPEDITION
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.
