Whether you love water, cycling, hiking... or you wish to dive, swim, climb... a range of activities at your fingertips, allowing you to discover the riches of the destination while being in harmony with nature.

Passion Trips and Thematic Journeys

Tsingy, the lushness of primary forest, golden savanna rhythmed by the silhouettes of zebu cattle and baobabs, shores with wide horizons dotted with Vezo fishing villages… Madagascar's atypical, astonishing and varied nature invites you into this unique world, where endemic species reveal its true character. Blue-nosed chameleons, pink pachypodiums, lemurs with green eyes, extraordinary orchids. A living world waiting to be discovered!

Hiking and Itinerant Trekking

A little secret: Unless you know Madagascar, even the seasoned hiker can barely imagine the countless possibilities on offer. This true trekking haven lets you traverse on foot an extraordinary diversity of terrain. The Highlands are shaped by a magnificent granite ridge, forming powerful massifs with grey, smooth domes. Taking advantage of weak zones in this rigid, fractured mantle, magma—basalt in the making—has created a series of volcanic phenomena; the Itasy region is a beautiful example. Sandstone and limestone sedimentary layers have established themselves in the western part of the country. They form a series of spectacular barriers. The ruiniform sandstones with their phantasmagoric erosions of the Isalo and Makay massifs evoke our Saharan Tassili. The limestone belt, meanwhile, stretches from the far south to the far north of the Great Island.
