Main Destination: Antananarivo (City)
Following your morning repast, your tour guide will greet you as you embark on a four-hour journey eastward to explore Andasibe-Mantadia National Park. This remarkable rainforest encompasses two distinct protected areas—the Perinet Special Reserve and Mantadia National Park—renowned for their abundant population of indri lemurs, the largest living lemurs globally.
En route to the park, immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of rural life in Madagascar, characterized by rice fields, redbrick homes, and roadside markets brimming with seasonal fruits and vegetables. Upon your arrival at Manjarano Lodge before noon, you'll settle in for the next three nights, enjoying full-board accommodations.
Begin your day with a nourishing breakfast before rendezvousing with your guide for an adventure through Analamazaotra Special Reserve, also known as Perinet Reserve. Encompassing 180 hectares of verdant jungle, the reserve is renowned for its rare indri lemur, characterized by its distinctive black and white markings, nearly invisible tail, and a countenance reminiscent of a surprised teddy bear. Beyond this captivating creature, Perinet Reserve harbors eleven other lemur species, as well as a plethora of reptiles, invertebrates, and orchids. Bird enthusiasts will also delight in spotting endemic species like the Nuthatch vanga, blue coua, velvet asity, and more.
Following lunch, venture to the other side of the forest to explore the area managed by the Mitsinjo association, a locally-run community initiative. Don't miss the opportunity to embark on a guided night walk through the forest, where you may encounter various chameleons, geckos, and nocturnal lemurs such as Goodman's mouse lemur, woolly lemur, white-footed sportive lemur, and furry-eared dwarf lemur.
Following breakfast, embark on your journey to the magnificent Mantadia National Park. This park is home to a variety of lemur species, including the indri lemur, grey bamboo lemur, red-bellied lemur, white ruffed lemur, and diademed sifaka.
The trails in Mantadia National Park are challenging but rewarding, as the forest is exceptionally beautiful and less crowded than Perinet. Moreover, you'll have the opportunity to observe rare mammals, reptiles, and an array of bird species, such as the breasted coua, scaly ground roller, and pitta-like ground roller.
Don't forget to enjoy your picnic lunch near the delightful Rianasoa Waterfall before embarking on the return hike to your vehicle. Later in the evening, anticipate another thrilling night walk with a local guide to explore the nearby woods.
Commence your trip to Antananarivo and settle in at the Relais des Plateaux Hotel & Spa. Catering to international travelers, this hotel seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern conveniences since its establishment in 2005. Indulge in a satisfying breakfast before completing check-in for a full-board overnight stay.
After savoring breakfast at Relais des Plateaux in Tana, travelers can embark on an extraordinary journey to Nosy Ankao. Accompanied by an expert guide, you'll embark on an exhilarating flight north to Diego Suarez, followed by a helicopter transfer. As you soar above, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of majestic mountains, ancient baobabs, and scattered coastal shipwrecks until you touch down on the secluded island.
For those seeking an escape to pristine solitude, Miavana by Time+Tide is the ultimate destination. Spanning 10 square kilometers, this exclusive enclave offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the tranquility and natural beauty of the surroundings, while also contributing to local conservation and sustainability efforts.
Indulge in five nights of unforgettable luxury, complete with full-board accommodations, ensuring an extraordinary holiday experience.

Surrender to breathtaking views, unwind on the pristine beaches, relish seamless indoor-outdoor living, and marvel at the meticulously crafted decor fashioned from natural Malagasy materials.
Engage in an array of activities and excursions included in your stay, such as forest walks, snorkeling, boat rides, and cultural immersions, or opt for additional adventures like helicopter tours and scuba diving. Explore the lush forests teeming with 100 species of lemurs, or dive into the azure waters to encounter turtles, manta rays, and other marine wonders.
During certain seasons, be sure to seek out the migrating humpback whales and spinner dolphins for an unparalleled and unforgettable encounter.
Following your final hearty meal at the enchanting Miavana, embark on a scenic helicopter journey back to Diego Suarez airport, a swift flight lasting approximately half an hour. Upon arrival, you'll receive a warm welcome and assistance with the check-in process for your two-hour domestic flight from Diego Suarez to Tana.

As this marks your last evening in Madagascar, seize the opportunity for some last-minute souvenir shopping or unwind with a relaxing poolside session. Your accommodation for the night includes full board basis amenities.
