Day 02

  • Antananarivo – Andasibe

East coast The circuit begins on National Road No. 2, Cape Andasibe. If the journey lasts 4 hours, you will not see the time pass as the diversity of landscapes and vegetation will captivate you. Here, nature has regained all its rights. Already, the vast expanses of greenery and forests mark a break with the city.
The Ravinala, trees of the traveler, stand in the heart of the vegetation and gently wave their leaves arranged in fan, as if to greet you.
You will quickly become acquainted with the richness of the fauna of this dream island that is Madagascar by visiting the private park Pereyras. Hello friendly lemurs! How pretty you are! How beautiful you seem to me! If Jean de la Fontaine had been able to discover this park where several species of endemic fauna of the country coexist, what fables could he have written in particular by seeing the chameleons who display their nonchalance and indifference to the curiosity of visitors.
After this tour, your accompanying driver will set you up at the hotel. A key person of this circuit will then be presented: your tour guide! For a few hours, you will be in the company of this specialist who will give you the details of the night visits and those in the VOI village park that you will undertake.
No doubt you will then spend a good night at the hotel after this second busy day of your trip to Madagascar. East coast

Day 03

  • Andasibe

Au programme de ce troisième jour de voyage dans la Grande Ile, la visite du parc villageois VOI, à quelques encablures du Parc National d’Andasibe-Mantadia. Dans cette forêt, perchée dans un arbre, vit le Indri-indri, le plus grand des lémuriens. Monogame, le Indri-indri a un sens très poussé de la famille. On peut aussi y rencontrer le Brookesia, le plus petit caméléon de Madagascar. Ce caméléon n’est pas arboricole mais terrestre et présente un fort mimétisme avec son environnement. Autre particularité de cette forêt : elle abrite le scarabée girafe, une espèce qu’on ne trouve qu’à Madagascar. Votre guide touristique vous expliquera sûrement que son nom, sans surprise, lui vient de son long cou.

Le petit tour au village d’Andasibe que vous effectuerez ensuite vous permettra d’avoir une idée des modes de vie de la population locale.

Pendant plus d’une heure ensuite, vous découvrirez la réserve Vakôna, l’îlot aux lémuriens où vous rencontrerez d’autres espèces : le Fulvus, le Lemur bambou, le vari. Ils vous traiteront avec beaucoup d’amitié voire de familiarité en sautant par exemple sur vos épaules. Cette réserve renferme aussi un parc à crocodiles, hormis le « fosa » qui est un prédateur de lémuriens, le boa de Madagascar et des canards sauvages.

Vous passerez la nuit à l’hôtel du Vakôna, bercé par le murmure des feuilles, qu’agite le souffle léger du vent dans un environnement de verdure.

Day 04

  • Andasibe – Akanin’ny Nofy

The adventure continues on National Road 2 with your accompanying driver. A junction 10 km from Brickaville will take you to Manambato.
