West to East Across Madagascar: 15 Days

Your own guide, your own vehicle, and an itinerary shaped entirely around you.

About This Tour

A 15-day, full-country circuit — the baobabs and tsingy of the west, Andasibe's rainforest, the Pangalanes Canal, and whale-watching off Sainte Marie island in the east. This is the only Madagascar route that genuinely crosses the whole country — it covers the same Morondava–Tsingy ground as our western tours, then continues on to Andasibe, the Pangalanes Canal, and Sainte Marie, which our shorter west- or east-only tours don't reach.
