Tour Overview
This exciting itinerary allows us to experience the incredible diversity of
Madagascar, predominantly on foot. We trek in Andringitra National Park, one
of the most beautiful and biodiverse parks on the island, and in Isalo
National Park with its unique landscape of rock formations, deep canyons,
waterfalls and natural swimming pools. We go in search of lemurs in Anja
Reserve and visit Ranomafana National Park, walking through spectacular
scenery in the hope of spotting endemic lemurs, including dancing sifakas.
Throughout the trip, the unique wildlife of this island will enchant and
amaze.

Food
All breakfasts, 5 lunches and 5 dinners included.Food standards in Madagascar
can vary and are probably not of the same standard you are used to at
home. A one-course lunch/dinner should cost £4-6 while a three-course
lunch/dinner should cost £9-12 . Please allow approximately £160 for meals
not included, plus a little more if you enjoy a drink with dinner! Malagasy
lager is reasonably priced and easily available. Malagasy wine is also
reasonably priced but is not to everyone's taste. It is sometimes possible to
get hold of French or South African wine. A delicacy in Madagascar is the
various flavoured rum’s which are widely sold and very reasonably
priced.Please note that if you eat neither fish nor meat, your food options
will be rather limited (i.e. omelette, cheese, pasta, vegetables and rice) on
this trip. Breakfasts are usually simple: eggs, a baguette, jam and coffee or
tea, and sometimes fruit. You may wish to bring something to supplement your
morning meal (e.g spread, peanut butter etc).
Accommodation
We spend 10 nights in hotels. We also have four nights of full-service camping, with some basic campsites, all with shared facilities. We use tourist-class hotels, which are simple and comfortable, except during the treks where we camp in the national parks.
Most of the hotels have mosquito nets in the rooms.
Worth knowing
All of the hotels are said to have a reliable electricity and water supply. However, there may be instances in which you experience some gaps in supply. This is more a reflection of life in Madagascar than the hotel standard.
During the camping portions, we camp in small and mobile two-person tents. The camping is full service so the tents are put up for you. Campsites in Madagascan parks usually offer only very basic facilities. Do not expect hot showers, flushing toilets and Western standards of cleanliness at some of the places we stay. Some toilets may be long drops. Please come prepared. All camping equipment is provided except sleeping bags.
