A 14-day circuit through Madagascar's central highlands — Andasibe's rainforest, Ranomafana's biodiversity, Isalo's canyon country, and the Zafimaniry craft villages around Ambositra. This route shares its opening days with our 15-day southern Madagascar tour, but diverges after Ranomafana — this one continues into the Zafimaniry craft villages rather than south to the coast at Ifaty.
