Short program
Antananarivo – Andasibe
From the capital Antananarivo or shortly "Tana" we start our way towards the east coast. Our first stop is a breeding farm for reptiles and butterflies. Here you are able to start photographing very rare animals. After this extremely photogenic and labor intensive stay we will continue to the east.
Towards the end of the afternoon we reach the rainforest of Mantadia near Andasibe. Here we get a good look at the fragile fauna & flora of the rainforest. It offers a wealth of motifs for example various lemurs, orchids, snakes, various chameleons, frogs, geckos, various insects and so on.
Andasibe - Canal du Pangalanes
Next, our photo trip leads from the mountain cloud forests Mantadias on to a winding Road eastwards. In the afternoon we reach the Sea of Kings and explore by boat the Canal de Pangalanes and reach a peninsula with paradisiacal motifs: chameleons, snakes, orchids, and many different lemurs. We stay here a few nights.

Diego Suarez and surroundings
Once arrived back in the capital Antananarivo, we continue directly to the high North of Madagascar, the rainforest of the Montagne de Ambre. Big tree ferns and waterfalls characterize this special national park. On our excursions we will see different types of chameleons, lemurs, discover leaf-tailed geckos and insect species. With a little luck we might spot the fossa, the largest land predator of Madagascar, comparable with a small cougar.
Montagne d' Ambre - Ankarana
From the Montagne d' Ambre, we head into a southerly direction. This area is famous for its especially colorful chameleons. From here we continue to Ankarana's “needle stone” massif, the Tsingys, The limestone needles tanned by erosion offer a unique view. In this unreal landscape many different animals can be found. Lemurs, chameleons, geckos and also the birdlife is extremely interesting here.
Ankarana – Ankify
From Ankarana National Park we continue towards the north-west coast. Just before arriving in the small village of Ankify we are looking for a few more colorful chameleons. In the evening we enjoy the view of the sea. The next morning we visit a small island. Return flight possible from Nosy Be to Paris.
On Nosy there a loads of lemurs, chameleons and geckos to discover or maybe you spend another day or two on the beach.

If you fly out with Air France the flight is no longer overnight, the arrival in Madagascar is the very same day. In the past this was a flight overnight and our program was originally planned around that particular flight.
Now one would need an extra night in Antananarivo if taking the Air France service. An additional Euro 100 for a single or half a double room will apply.
The Air France is very good. Due to the earlier arrival we will gain an extra day, which we can use to stay in Andasibe, to where we will transfer right after arrival in Antananarivo.
It is worth to go for the Air France connection!
