Madagascar - Mandrare River - private exclusive adventures

EXPERIENCE - HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS THRILLING ISLAND

Embark on this extraordinary journey connecting the country's finest camps and lodges via private aviation, designed to showcase the natural and cultural wonders of Madagascar, the world's fourth-largest island. Begin your adventure in the arid south, where you can track ring-tailed lemurs in sacred forests, consult with a remote village shaman to divine your future and witness sifaka lemurs gracefully leaping from the canopy of spiny forests. All this while savouring moonlit dinners under ancient baobab trees. Travelling north to the capital city, immerse yourself in the vibrant markets and discover the secrets of former royal silk producers at their ancient loom in a medieval village.

Continue your odyssey eastward by helicopter into the cloud rainforest, where eagle-eyed local guides lead nocturnal explorations, unveiling impossibly small chameleons and critically endangered mouse lemurs. During the day, high in the canopy, the haunting call of the indri lemur beckons you deep into the virgin forest, where leaping lemurs dance past trees adorned with iridescent chameleons. The grand finale awaits off the north coast on one of the world's most exclusive private island resorts. Here, endless pristine reefs beckon for kite-surfing, scuba diving, catch-and-release big-game fishing, and inland exploration of the otherworldly tsingy landscape and seemingly bottomless cave systems, offering a captivating adventure in this island paradise.

The best time to visit is between April and December, but due to the intricate planning involved, we require several months' notice to curate and deliver this bespoke experience.

LOCAL LEGACY

Tailored support spans health and education in the south, sustainable tourism in the capital, alternative income, biodiversity and forest regeneration in the cloud forest, and community and marine conservation in the north. Developed with local partners, these initiatives ensure a meaningful and lasting impact, leaving behind a significant legacy in this vulnerable nation.
