Home / Madagascar WIND NOMADS
Itinerary Rates and Dates Extensions + Info

Madagascar reveals in its far north a territory of contrasts where the most spectacular nature is combined with carefully designed experiences. Nomads of the Wind, from our Origins collection, proposes to discover some of the most amazing landscapes of the island, starting with the unusual Red Tsingys of Irodo, continuing through the jungles of the Montagne d’Ambre National Park and the limestone labyrinths of the Ankarana National Park.

The trip takes on a unique character by integrating the practice of kitesurfing in one of the best spots in northern Madagascar. Facing the turquoise waters of a lagoon protected by the reef, the elegant Tao Resort offers the ideal conditions to enjoy the wind and the sea without sacrificing the comfort, privacy and service of a high-end hotel.

This proposal demonstrates that the passion for kitesurfing can go hand in hand with a refined travel experience. Far from destinations associated with basic infrastructures, here kitesurfing is combined with selected accommodations, carefully selected gastronomy and an exceptional natural environment.

The experience is completed with a stay in Nosy Be, from where we will explore the paradisiacal island of Nosy Iranja, famous for its tongue of white sand that emerges between two islets in the middle of crystal clear waters, one of the most iconic landscapes of the Indian Ocean.

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.

An extraordinary journey

I totally recommend it, direct, clear and familiar treatment Sylvia, Jaume and Sergi are charming.

Small and well-organized groups.

Santa our guide is a crack.

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 are eager to return and get to know more corners of the island. And certainly with Indigo Be!!!!

An authentic experience

I chose the “Baobab Expedition” itinerary with Indigo Be and it has been an unforgettable and authentic experience… Indigo Be is an agency of young professionals who love and know Madagascar in depth and transmit their passion and enthusiasm for the country to the travelers.

Our guide, Jaume, has facilitated, at all times, with his efficiency and kindness, the smooth running of the day to day.

Thanks to all the professional team of Indigo Be and ENHORABONAAAAAAAAAAA Jaume “per la feina ben feta”. A hug !!!!!

Elisabeth Segui BAOBAB EXPEDITION
Unique, surprising and unforgettable island

Madagascar; it sounds remote, like a cartoon movie and impossible animals. It is that, and also an island-country with little tourism that oozes African sap sweetened with Asian touches.

Descend a river between jungle canyons and sleep on its beaches protected from crocodiles; go deep 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; stroll at sunset along an avenue lined with giant baobabs; discover impressive rock formations in the shape of thousands of needles; taste seafood seasoned with French-influenced dyes or simply stroll along a beach waiting for the arrival of fishermen. All this is Madagascar.

Madagascar promises disconnection, adventure and exoticism…and with Indigo Be you get it!

Thank you for being wonderful hosts of this unique, surprising and unforgettable island.

Antonia Rubio BAOBAB EXPEDITION
