We have just returned to Italy after our great trip in Madagascar, where we discovered a wonderful country
We hope to visit again someday.
I want to say that our trip went very well.
Mr Jose, the driver-guide, was very professional and discreet and we have traveled many miles together while Miss Zarasoa watched over our itinerary so everything goes as planned.
A big thank you.
We will certainly recommend you to our friends and acquaintances who want to go to Madagascar.

A visit to the Old City, the palace of the Queen, will introduce you to the architecture and urbanism of this particular city. An introduction to the delectable cuisine of Madagascar and the islands of the Indian Ocean is also on the menu.
Day : 2 – Crossing the highlands; Antananarivo- Antsirabe – Ambositra
Our highland crossing into the region of Betsileo brings you to the first stop in the town of Ambositra, famous for its workshops and Zafimaniry Wood Carvings. We spend the night here.
Day 3: Ambositra – Ranomafana
We are heading to Ranomafana rainforest. Once you get there, we will do a night visit of the rainforest to find animals such as Fosa (small puma), chameleons, frogs and the smallest lemur in the world: Microcebe.
Day 4: Ranomafana National Park – Fianarantsoa.
An early morning wake up will take you in the trails of the rainforest with some park rangers to discover lemurs in their natural habitat. Finishing the visit around before lunch time, we move to the old town of Fianarantsoa perched onto the hills with its beautiful traditional architecture reflecting the different stages of colonization.
Day 5: Fianarantsoa – Ambalavao – Ranohira
We leave the highlands to continue your journey towards the South with its semi-dry landscape. The first stop of the day is in the small town of Ambalavao, one of the cultural treasures with its architectural houses with verandas. There, we will visit the entirely natural Paper Factory Antemoro, an inlaid paper made from plants and flowers which is exported nowadays everywhere to make beautiful greeting cards. We will arrive in Ranohira later in the afternoon to enjoy a very unique landscape.
