Itinerary

After breakfast, we head towards Belo sur Tsiribihina. After traveling about 110 km on a secondary road, we will arrive at Tsimafana, where we will take a ferry to cross the Tsiribihina River. This crossing takes between 30 and 45 minutes before reaching Belo sur Tsiribihina. Afterwards, we continue our journey, but before arriving at the village of Bekopaka, we will cross a second ferry on the Manambolo River. The beauty of the landscapes is breathtaking. Upon arrival, check-in and overnight at the hotel.

Early breakfast, then we start the day by exploring the Petit Tsingy. As its name suggests, it is small but very rich in fauna and flora. It is an accessible place for children. In the afternoon, still with our local guide, we continue our exploration of the geological formations and biodiversity of this remarkable site. Check-in and overnight at the hotel.

After an early breakfast, we head to the parking area of the Bemaraha National Park. Accompanied by our local guide, we will set out to explore the Tsingy, which means 'needle' in Malagasy. These impressive rock formations resemble true limestone cathedrals, created by the deposition of fossils and marine shells millions of years ago. Over time, rainwater has sculpted these landscapes, offering one of the most spectacular panoramas of the Great Island. Check-in and overnight at the hotel.

After breakfast, we leave the village of Bekopaka and return to the track towards Morondava. A day rich in discoveries awaits us. We will cross the two ferries again: Manambolo and Belo sur Tsiribihina. Afterwards, we will continue our journey to the Avenue of the Baobabs. Fully enjoy the unique beauty of this site, famous for its majestic giants, before witnessing the magnificent sunset. This moment is a must for all visitors to the region. We will then continue to Morondava, where we will check in and spend the night at the hotel.
