Madagascar Adventure

This tour includes:

Guide

All group trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Intrepid endeavours to provide the services of an experienced leader however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your leader is new to a particular region or training other group leaders. Your leader will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious, and social aspects. At Intrepid we aim to support local guides who have specialised knowledge of the regions we visit. If you are interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your leader can recommend a local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip. On this trip for small groups of 1-3 travellers your leader will also be your driver. For sustainability and a lower carbon footprint, we will also use a 4x4 SUV : or similar, rather than a van or coach.

Accommodation

The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline only and may change. On some occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our preferred accommodation. In these cases, we will use a similar standard of accommodation. Throughout the trip, we request that our properties prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if we're arriving prior to normal check-in time. However, this isn't always possible which means we won't be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination or on some trips, have use of shared day rooms until all rooms are available. Hotel (6 nights) Bungalow (4 Nights) Cottage (2 Nights) Gite (1 Night)

      Tonga Soa! Welcome to Madagascar. You'll start your journey in the country's capital โ€“ the bustling Antananarivo โ€“ a fun place to explore among rolling hills. You might like to check out the Musรฉe de la Photographie, a small museum showcasing the history of Madagascar between 1850 and 1870 through a series of old photographs that have been assembled into short videos. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 5 pm, but if you arrive early, why not head to Analakey to visit the street markets or perhaps seek out a cafe to soak up the atmosphere? After, why not keep the introductions going with an optional dinner with your group at a local restaurant?Accommodation: Hotel

After exploring Antananarivo, weโ€™ll board a flight to Tulear and onward to your hotel in Ifaty for the evening. The night is yours to sit back and relax or go out and explore the town โ€“ youโ€™ll be delighted by your accommodation with a swimming pool, snack bar and restaurant, so you may choose to stay in, rest up and get ready for tomorrowโ€™s adventures.Accommodation: Bungalow

      Today is free for you to explore, adventure or relax as you wish. You might like to visit Reniala Private Park โ€“ meaning โ€˜mother of the forestโ€™. This private nature reserve was opened in 2001 as a botanical garden, ornithological park and incredible baobab forest. Maybe youโ€™d like to visit the Village des Tortues, a turtle breeding and conservation project or drop into the Honko Project and see the protected mangrove area thatโ€™s been set up to help reverse the degradation of the ecosystems here. Explore the Recycling Museum, which is dedicated to environmental protection, providing educational awareness for locals and tourists to learn about the efforts of waste management in the country and encouraging green and responsible consumption. Up for something a little more active? Take a traditional dugout (speedboat) out to the nearby reef and snorkel the day away on a guided excursion. As if this wasnโ€™t already enough to choose from, if youโ€™re visiting from July to August, you can also join a humpback whale-watching excursion in the lagoon.Accommodation: Bungalow
