• Head into the wilds of Ranomafana National Park keeping your eyes peeled for red-bellied lemurs, chameleons, and the critically endangered golden bamboo lemur

• Venture deep into the landscapes of Isalo National Park witnessing natural swimming holes, dramatic canyons, hidden oases and lots of wildlife including ring-tailed lemurs, hoopoes and souimanga birds
• Enjoy time at leisure in Ifaty, a small beach town with a gorgeous coastline, before a twilight walk through the towering baobabs and a candlelit dinner under these mighty trees
• Enjoy a scenic drive through the Mandraka Gorge before arriving in Andasibe for a night walk in the Voimma Community Reserve
• Rise early and delve into Andasibe National Park. Spend the morning in the Analamazoatra section where evergreen forest is home to the iconic indri indri – one of the largest of the lemur family
• Visit Vakona Private Reserve to meet lemurs who have been rescued from captivity, the illegal pet trade and private zoos. These lemurs roam free across densely vegetated forest but cannot be returned to the wild.
