West Madagascar - 8 Days |
|
DAY 1
Meet with our assistant at Antananarivo for the internal flight to Morondava. Check in to the “Le Renala” 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 along the road of the Baobabs to see the sunset. Dinner and overnight in hotel.
DAY 2
Breakfast in hotel. After a short briefing we depart in the direction of Belo sur Mer. Today's raid takes us on an attractive route through bushland notable for it's skeletal trees, resistant to the arid conditions of this area. Having crossed the ford of Kabatomena, about 150m wide, we will pass by the incredible salt lakes arriving in Belo sur Mer for about noon. Check in in the “Ecolodge du Menabe” hotel. Dinner and overnight in hotel.

DAY 3
Breakfast in hotel and departure for the second day on the quads. Our path today is relatively fragile, crossing the salt lakes. The vegetation is marked by jujubes and wooded savana, followed by the tombs of Sakalava with its sacred wooden totems (Aloalo). Arrival in Manja where our camp has been set up. Dinner and overnight in tents.
DAY 4
Breakfast in camp and we head off on the road for Bevoay. A day in the Madagascan savana makes todays raid a little more challenging due to the tree stumps that cover our path. After a tricky ford crossing we arrive in Bevoay and our camp on the banks of the river. Dinner and overnight in tents.
DAY 5
After breakfast we take the ferry across the river Mangoky to start our long day of quad biking. During the first stage, on the way to Morombe, we will be crossing wild countryside, reminiscent of Africa, with baobabs lining the route. In the afternoon, we continue to follow the baobabs, but on an easier path, until we arrive in Andavadoaka, a magnificent place with its bay protected by a coral reef along the canal of Mozambique. Who feels the need after a long days drive can go for a swim! Check in to “Laguna Blu Resorts” hotel. Dinner and overnight in hotel.

DAY 7
Breakfast in hotel. A day of rest in Salary! A perfect opportunity to just relax or to have a go at one of the sporting activities on offer here (Waterskiing, diving...). Dinner and overnight in hotel.
DAY 8
An easy route for this, our last day on the quads, with skeletal and spiny plants alongside our path. The dry forest is marked by didieracees and euphorbias. We will arrive in Ifaty in the mid to late afternoon. Check in to “Nautlus” hotel. Farewell dinner and overnight.
