Things to know before your Madagascar trip

What does a trip to Madagascar look like?

A typical Madagascar itinerary covers a lot of ground and a lot of landscapes. You might start in Antananarivo before heading east to the misty rainforests of Andasibe. Then fly to Nosy Be for a few days of beach time, or go south to explore Isalo’s dramatic canyons.

Don’t miss the Avenue of the Baobabs near Morondava, and if you're up for something remote, the jagged rock forests of Tsingy de Bemaraha or the hot springs near Ranomafana are well worth it. Every trip is built around your interests, from wildlife to waterfalls to winding coastal roads.
