Tour itinerary: Antananarivo → Ampefy → Antananarivo
Depart from your hotel at 7: 45Am to begin the 120 km drive west of the capital. About half an hour outside the capital we will stop at the Lemurs Park, a super private reserve where we will be able to see from a very close range different species of lemurs (Black and white ruffed Lemur, Common Brown Lemur, Coquerel’s Sifaka, Crowned Sifaka, Eastern Lesser Bamboo Lemur, Mongoose Lemur, and Ring-Tailed Lemur). After a guided visit of about 1 hour, we will continue west towards Analavory. At Analavory, we continue north towards the Geysers of Andranomandroatra. After the visit, we head south to the village of Ampefy where we will have time for lunch (not included) before heading back to the capital. Return to the capital by 7 PM depending on traffic.
The Ampefy area is characterized by a volcanic landscape and has been classified as an ecotourism destination. The volcanic landscape, very hilly, offers a place for relaxation and rest. It gets you far from the crowded beaches of the coastal resorts of Madagascar. However, you cannot find the atmosphere anywhere else. The Itasy region gives a real haven of peace nestled in the central highlands.
