DETAILED ITINERARY

Day 1: London to Antananarivo
Fly this morning from the UK to Antananarivo (via Paris). On arrival into the Madagascar capital this evening you will be met and transferred in the city to spend 1 night at Lokanga Boutique Hotel, a charming 6 room town house close to the Queens Palace with amazing views across the city and very friendly service.

Day 2: Antananarivo to the Nosy Be Archipelago
Following breakfast on the terrace overlooking Antananarivo you will transfer back to the airport for your flight to the Nosy Be Archipelago.

Arriving into the main island of Nosy Be you will met and transferred to a remote spot on the east coast to spend your first 4 nights at Manga Soa, a lovely French owned beach lodge with 7 stylish suites overlooking the ocean and lovely private beach below. Want to add-in a visit to Amber Mountain National Park for a couple of days? We will design a Madagascar holiday to suit you – call 01273 923100.

Days 3 to 5: Nosy Be
Three full days to relax and explore the island of Nosy Be. At the lodge you arrange hikes, snorkelling and other water-sports, plus we can arrange lots of activities in the area including horse-riding, quad biking and island hopping tours.

No trip to Madagascar is complete without some wildlife so we highly recommend an excursion to the nearby primary forest Reserve de Lokobe which is home to some wonderful wildlife including the rare black Macaco lemur, gray-backed sportive lemur, Madagascar long-eared owl and the spectacular panther chameleon.

Day 6: Nosy Be to Nosy Komba
This morning you will transfer to the port of Hellville (not as bad as it sounds!) to pick up your boat transfer 30mins to the neighbouring island of Nosy Komba (Lemur Island) where you will continue your island adventure with 3 nights at Tsara Komba Lodge. Another French owned gem this small eco beach lodge is super stylish, very relaxed and it offers some of the best cuisine in Madagascar. Remember, this is just a starting point idea to give you a flavour of what we can do. All our holidays are uniquely designed for each individual client. Contact us on 01273 923100 or holidays@sundownerholidays.co.uk to start designing yours.

Days 7 & 8: Nosy Komba
Two full days to relax and explore Nosy Komba. Nosy Komba is a beautiful volcanic island covered in forest (with no roads) and it is resident to the black Macaco lemurs so we recommend a hike on the island and if you want to get up close and personal there are some semi-habituated lemurs at the Ampangorina Reserve.

Day 9: Nosy Komba to Tsarabanjina Island
Today you will head by boat 90mins north to the stunning Mitsio Archipelago to end your beach adventure with 4 nights at the stunning Tsarabanjina Island, a barefoot chic private island with fine white coral sand and the clearest turquoise ocean.

We love the remoteness, beauty, focus on the environment, exceptional diving and its incredibly laid back atmosphere – the viewpoint for sundowners is pretty special as well! “20% Early Booking Discount” Special

Days 10 to 12: Tsarabanjina Island
Three days in Paradise. You may want to simply move backwards and forwards between your hammock and the ocean but this archipelago offers some of the best diving in the Indian Ocean and your stay includes snorkelling, sailing, kayaking, guided island hikes and a game of beach volleyball every day at 18h00.

Day 13: Tsarabanjina Island to the UK
It’s nearly time to ditch the flip-flops as with a heavy heart you will transfer by boat back to Hellville and then onto Nosy Be airport for your flight back to Antananarivo. On arrival a day room at Bois Vert will be available (if required) before you will connect with your International flight back to the UK (via Paris).

The latest word on the street about Sundowner’s Madagascar holidays:

We had an absolutely fantastic time. You totally understood what we were looking for and delivered in every way. Your Madagascar team were great, helpful and flexible.

Sarah Mott Madagascar

Our itinerary was just right and the suggestions of the sites did not disappoint. I believe the main aim of our trip that my wife gave you was “lemurs, lemurs, lemurs”. You helped us to achieve this in spades and in so many different settings.

Terry Dalton Madagascar

It was a super and absolutely unforgettable holiday. We were so lucky with wildlife – with lemurs, chameleons, frogs, birds, strange plants all around us. A big thank you to all.

Ernest Jenson Madagascar

Thank you for all help in arranging my trip, which was hugely successful. Tsara Komba, with its magical setting, was lovely. Also, the Le Pavillon de l’Emyrne in Tana was perfect. Again the staff could not have been more charming, positive and helpful. Having the garden to sit and read in, was a welcome retreat as Tana is hectic.

David McCue Madagascar

I just wanted to tell you what an amazing time we had in Madagascar. It all went perfectly and we enjoyed very minute of it. The visits to the Reserves and the wildlife we saw were out of this world. Our guide, Eunice was a great guy and a pleasure to be with. All in all we had the most wonderful time.

Sue Lesley Madagascar

A fantastic holiday with an amazing combination of charming people, extraordinary wildlife, stunning contrast of terrain. Thank you for all your recommendations.

Keith Bye Madagascar

FANTASTIC! It was the most incredible experience. We loved the variety that you had planned for us, from the rainforest in Andasibe to Isalo which was stunning (the hotel was really special). Ifaty was also a really interesting place but the piece de resistance was definitely Anjajavy. We thought we had died and gone to heaven! The honeymoon package was wonderful but the best part was Cedric and his passion for the environment. Another aspect which we were thrilled by was the quality of the guides. A special thanks for the guide in Isalo and Ifaty – I think he was called Sedeer. He was so knowledgeable and good company.

Judith Lamb Madagascar

Our Holiday was AMAZING! Loved Vakona. And Anjajavy…well ‘paradise’ just about sums it up! BEST Place we have ever stayed.

Mel Fewtrell Madagascar

I have just returned from a holiday in Madagascar. We both had an amazing and enjoyable time. We were very impressed with our driver/guide. He was helpful, full of interesting information, answered all our questions (and there were a lot!) with good humour and excellent English. Always flexible and willing to cope with special requests (especially for my photo stops) and even taught us some Malagasy. At Andasibe National Park we had a top class wildlife guide who was very knowledgeable and his ability to spot wildlife in the forest was uncanny. He even managed to spot a Leaf-Tailed Gecko (a master of camouflage in the wild) which was amazing.

Sarah Hay Madagascar

Excellent holiday. Spoilt totally at both our lodges. The guide, Andreas was outstanding in knowledge of not just wildlife but also culture, politics and history of the people. He managed his trackers to best advantage and discreetly. Great to be able to view wildlife on foot, on boat and canoe. Staff and locals determined that we saw as much as possible. Endlessly patient and willing to tell us about their lives and country.
