Day 1 Day 1: Antananarivo
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 1: Antananarivo

Your island adventure begins in the city centre and capital, Antananarivo. The bustling capital of Madagascar is known as Tana to many travellers. With an open schedule today, just relax, settle in, or wander through the city’s diverse architectural history.

Our guide will meet you at the airport and will take you to the hotel. If you arrive early on the day, contact us at Fosa Travel for information on any attraction that you can visit in town.

With so many more species of lemur, like Indri and ring-tailed, we will next head farther out to Andasibe, the world-renowned lemur watching paradise.

In the afternoon, we will visit Parc Mitsinjo, where you can find chameleons, snakes, birds and most importantly the largest lemur species, Indri.

When night falls, perhaps your true inner-explorer can come alive as we’ll hike through the forest to catch a glimpse of night lemurs and other nocturnal friends.

Isalo National Park is an 815km² park famous for its unusual sandstone landscape eroded by wind and rain into plateaus, canyons and outcrops; some so strange that you may feel that we have transported you to another planet. Based on your fitness level, there are scenic hikes to visit the most popular attractions.

In the afternoon will visit two major attractions outside the park. La Reine de l’Isalo (the Isalo Queen), a naturally carved figure in stone, and La Fenetre de l’Isalo (the Isalo Window), a popular spot to enjoy and capture the spectacular Madagascan sunset.
