Two Weeks
The Wild West
This itinerary requires some planning ahead but once you've got your boat and your 4WD
booked, you'll be off in a flash.
Book a descent of the
Tsiribihina River
. Trips start from
Miandrivazo
, a day's drive
from Antananarivo. From there, it takes two and a half days to drift down to
Belo-sur-
Tsiribihina
.
Arrange for a 4WD and driver to meet you at the boat landing in Belo and continue
north to
Parc National des Tsingy de Bemaraha
. You'll need at least two days to explore
the Grands and Petits Tsingy. It's then a day's drive through scorched landscape down
to
Réserve Forestière de Kirindy
, home to the elusive fossa and the giant jumping rat.
Make sure to go on a night walk. On your way to Morondava, stop at the iconic
Allée des
Baobabs
.
After a day recuperating in the laid-back seaside town of
Morondava
, head down to the
fishing village of
Belo-sur-Mer
for a couple of days. You can then drive on to Tuléar (dur-
ing the dry season only), or go back to Morondava and fly or drive back to Antananarivo.
