Luxury Madagascar Holiday

After a refreshing breakfast overlooking Antananarivo, you will be transferred to the airport for your 3 hour charter flight to the south of the island. Upon arrival, a Ker & Downey® Africa representative will meet you and accompany you on a scenic drive to Fort Dauphin, a port-town-turned-holiday-destination surrounded by dazzling beaches. Here, you can enjoy dining at a local restaurant before venturing to the rustic Berenty Lodge, near the entrance Berenty Private Reserve – a reserve dedicated to the protection of Madagascar’s endemic lemurs. A highlight of your time at Berenty will be partaking in a guided walk through the reserve in search of the five species of Lemurs that live in the forest. In the evening enjoy a guided night walking tour.

After a refreshing breakfast at Berenty Lodge, your guide will meet you to explore the reserve in the light of day. In the afternoon, you will board a private charter flight to Isalo National Park. Check-in to the Jardin Du Roy, a luxury lodge located on the southern boundary of the park. A highlight of your stay will be a full day excursion into Isalo National Park – a region marked by its impressive landscape consisting of deep canyons, natural pools and vertical rock walls. Your adventure continues in Tapia forest – the last surviving forest in the Malagasy highlands – for a picnic lunch followed by time at leisure at the hotel.

After breakfast at Jardin du Roy, you will be transferred to the airstrip near Isalo National Park and board a private charter flight to the west of the island. En route, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the most remote and pristine region in Madagascar, Makay. Your journey takes you to Morondava beach where you will check in to Palissandre Côte Ouest. This beachside hotel is conveniently located for guests looking to visit the Avenue of Baobabs – a small stretch of dirt road flanked by majestic baobabs, some over 1000 years old. After a guided tour of the ‘Allée des Baobabs’, you will return to Palissandre Côte Ouest for time at leisure where you can enjoy an array of activities from paddle boats, windsurfing and snorkeling. Take the local cuisine with dinner at the hotel. 

After a refreshing breakfast, you will be transferred to the local airstrip for a private charter flight to Anjajavy. En route, you will disembark at Majunga for lunch before continuing your journey to Relais & Châteaux Anjajavy l’Hôtel.
