4 - Bird Watching in Antananarivo
"It is a twelve day's circuit for visiting all the natural parks and reserves on the south route of Madagascar without forgetting the culture and the handicraft that illustrate the identity of a country. Tana - Antsirabe: The semi- precious stone cuttings and lakes. Ambositra: Visits of workshops of sculptured wood and marquetry as well. The mountains which surround that country are in different forms and they seem to constitute a rampart to protect it. Ranomafana and Isalo National Park

5 - Camping in Antananarivo
The west of Madagascar is a particularly attractive destination since it offers on its own the meeting with the local population and the descent along the Tsiribihina river, a privileged place to observe wildlife. We will share a few nights with the inhabitants of the Antsirabe bush, we will take an adventure track of a few hundred kilometers and we will admire the sharp limestone peaks of the Tsingy. Our guide will not fail to introduce us to local life. So instead of hotels, we have small, very confused corners where some of our nights will be spent with the locals. Also in our great discovery of the west, we will also have the chance to discover the capital of Madagascar, the spa town of Antsirabe, the knowledge of the local population of Ambatolampy. Join us for a tailor-made stay.
