South Madagascar - 8 Days |
|
DAY 1
Meet in the morning with our assistant at Antananarivo for the internal flight to Tulear. Check in to the “La Paille en queue” hotel. Lunch together with the entire group and technical team. In the afternoon, take hold of your quads and we're off on an excursion to the dunes of Tulear to see the sunset(about 50km out and return). Dinner and overnight in hotel.
DAY 2
Breakfast in hotel. After a short briefing we depart for Saint Augustin. Half on and half off road we will be discovering the highs of the Tulear region. From Saint Augustin we will cross by boat to Soalar. From here it's onwards to Ambola, arriving at about noon. In the afternoon there is an optional excursion to the natural park of Tsimanampetsosta, situated about 5km from Ambola. Check in to the “Domaine d'Ambola” hotel. Dinner and overnight in hotel.

DAY 3
Breakfast in hotel and departure for our journey to Betioky. Our path today is relatively simple, apart from the odd termite hill! Having crossed the white beaches which extend for a few kilometers outside Ambola, we head inland to find the long paths in ocre sand running in straight lines and surrounded on all sides by thousands of termite hills for several kilometers. This route is known as the path of the zebu robbers (“dahalo” in Madagaskan), as it was often used to move the stolen herds. The vegetation is fairly dry with lots of cacti and a few baobabs. We will arrive in Betioky in the early afternoon and check into the “Tsaramandroso” hotel. Dinner and overnight in hotel.
DAY 4
Breakfast in hotel and we head off on the road for Ampanihy. A day spent in the Madagascan savana makes todays raid a little challenging. We will also get the chance today to spy the famous tombs of Mahafaly. Check in to hotel “Angora”. Dinner and overnight in hotel.
DAY 5
After breakfast it's time to head off for our return to the sea and Adroka. Today's is a relatively short journey, about 20 km of rocky, fragile and inclining paths (perfect for the quads!) and the rest of the trip on the classic savana of red sand and straight lines. Our camp tonight is a few kilometers outside Androka, in an immense deserted beach! Dinner and overnight in tents.

DAY 6
Breakfast in camp. An easy, calm and relaxing drive awaits us today on our way to Itampolo. Sandy paths along the west coast of Madagaskar and huge sand dunes. Dinner and overnight in tents.
DAY 7
Breakfast in camp. Departure for Anakao. Today's drive will seem like an extension of Itampolo as we remain on the magical white sandy beaches for the first stage. This countryside has its allure, with its blue lagoons and almost deserted beaches! Lunch stop at Ambola and then onto Anakao and check in at the hotel “Anakao Resorts”. Dinner and overnight in hotel.
DAY 8
An easy route (if an early start) for this, our last day on the quads. The reverse of the first day of the raid returning to Tulear and the classic boat crossing on the Onilay between Soalara and the bay of Saint-Augustin. We arrive in Tulear at around midday and the end of our raid.
