Itinerary

Day 1: Nosy Be - Ankarana
The national park is made up of an immense limestone plain, once underwater, which has gradually resurfaced through plate tectonics. Erosion has progressively sculpted the limestone into the shape of sharp points, the Tsingy. The park can be visited through 8 itineraries of variable length. The Tsingys divide the park into two, a landscape of dry savannah and an evergreen forest. Crossed by numerous gorges and rivers, Ankarana also has the largest network of interconnected underground caves in Africa with a total length of 120km. Some of them can be visited, others are sacred. The caves of Ankarana, as well as the Tsingy, offer a particular habitat for specialized animals and plants. Blind fish, crabs, arachnids and bats. Eleven species of lemur live in the dry forest. With close attention many of the 60 species of reptiles can also be found including the panther chameleon or leaf-tailed geckos.

Lunch: lunch at Ankarana park

Day 2: Ankarana - Tsingy Rouge
Tsing Rouge is a red laterite rock formation formed by the erosion of the Irodo River in the Diana region. Here the erosion is not a matter of centuries but of years. Thus, heavy rains or major floods can rapidly change the landscape of the Tsingy Rouge, destroying some parts and creating new ones. The Tsingy Rouge can be admired from three different locations, which can be accessed by car

Day 3: Tsingy Rouge - The Three Bays
Surfers paradise. Long strip of white sand besieged by often impetuous waves. The community of kiters and surfers arriving from all over the world has always met here: it is the windiest area on the island, therefore perfect for kite surfing and boarding. The gusts also reach 25-30 knots. In this play of the wind and the fluctuating water, the clouds travel fast and paint extraordinary ever-changing designs on the sea. A show not to be missed .

Day 4: Diego Suarez and Mer D'Emeraude
The Emerald Sea is known for its spectacular colours. It can be reached with a boat trip and you can already see the thousand shades of blue and bright green spots from afar. After having approached a paradisiacal beach of white sand on which trees and palm trees bring some shade, you can enjoy the scenic beauty while waiting for lunch to be served. The show is breathtaking

Day 5: Diego Suarez - Nosy Be
On the way back to Nosy Be we will stop in Ambanja to visit the cocoa plantation. Malagasy cocoa beans are famous all over the world. Even if local production represents only a share between 1 and 5% of world production, the island's cocoa is highly appreciated, above all because a rare species is produced here, the criollo, famous for its strong and slightly bitter taste
