Discover Antananarivo – The Capital City

Your Madagascar vacation begins in the capital, Antananarivo, commonly known as Tana. This bustling city can be overwhelming at first, with its smog, traffic, and fast-paced energy. However, beneath the chaos lies a culturally rich destination with some of the best Malagasy food in the world. Wander through Haute-Ville, where colonial buildings, narrow streets, and scenic viewpoints offer a glimpse into Madagascar’s past and present.

Journey to Diego Suarez – A Gateway to Adventure

From Tana, travel north to Diego Suarez, an isolated yet historically significant port city. Once a thriving trade hub exporting tinned fish and bottled drinks, today Diego Suarez welcomes summer cruise ships but retains its untouched charm. While it lacks traditional beaches, it serves as a perfect base for exploring Madagascar’s northern landscapes and easing into the island’s laid-back pace.

Explore Montagne d’Ambre National Park – A Rainforest Wonderland

A short journey from Diego Suarez brings you to Montagne d’Ambre National Park, a volcanic park established in 1958. With thousands of hectares of rainforest, this ecotourism hotspot is home to diverse wildlife, including vibrant bird species like the ibis and paradise flycatcher. Most famously, it is a sanctuary for Madagascar’s iconic lemurs—small, wide-eyed primates found nowhere else in the world.

Discover Ankarana Reserve – A Geological Marvel

Continue your journey to the breathtaking landscapes of Ankarana Reserve, where dramatic rock formations, ancient caves, and deep canyons showcase the island’s geological history. Turret-shaped limestone formations, known as tsingy, create an otherworldly landscape that is best explored on foot. Birdwatchers will delight in the colorful avian species that call Ankarana home, so be sure to have binoculars handy.

Unwind on Nosy Komba Island – A Tropical Paradise

Close out your Madagascar adventure with a stay on Nosy Komba, a small island nestled between Nosy Be and the Mozambique Channel. Free of modern infrastructure, Nosy Komba offers a true escape into nature. Stroll through local craft markets, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, or trek through the island’s dense forests in search of black lemurs. In the evenings, retreat to your solar-powered eco-lodge, where you can relax under the stars and reflect on an unforgettable journey through Madagascar’s diverse landscapes.
