Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival to Nosy Be
You will be met and transferred on arrival in Nosy Be to the Vanila hotel, set along the white sandy beach on the west coast of Nosy Be. Nosy Be, also known as Nosy Manitra -"The scented Island” , brings about fragrances of Ylang Ylang, Frangipani, Vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon and sugar cane. As one of the most popular destinations in Madagascar, Nosy Be has much to offer the visitor: beautiful beaches, views from the peak of Mont Passot, scuba diving and a visit to the Ylang Ylang distillery to name but a few.
Day 2 - 4: Nosy Be
At Leisure. Excursions are offered to the smaller surrounding islands off Nosy Be, such as Nosy Komba with a chance to view the semi-tame Black Lemurs, Nosy Tanikely for exceptional snorkeling and Scuba diving off the island of Nosy Sakatia.
An organized spice tour may be arranged through the lodge or perhaps a a ride into Hell-Ville to visit the bustling daily market- a good place to pick up spices at very reasonable prices. Enjoy a sundowner at the tiny rustic bar at the top of mount Passot, taking in the breathtaking view of the 7 sacred crater lakes.
Or why not enjoy a sail upon catamaran under the great Madagascan sun. Fishing and diving trips may also be arranged, or simply just enjoy a cocktail or two on the beach admiring the hues of sunset. All these excursions are booked in your own time and are for your own expense. [B]
Day 5: Nosy Be - Antananarivo - Andasibe Reserve
After a leisurely breakfast, check out of Vanila hotel and transfer to the airport for your departing flight to Antananarivo. Upon arrival, you will be met at the airport & will head to Andasibe through the green and luxuriant vegetation of the east. This first step brings us to the humid part of the country with many primary forests and lakes, and the landscape consists of rice fields, waterfalls, and scarce forest stations. Along the way we will see Merina villages in the rocky mountains.
On arrival to Vakona Forest Lodge, check-in to the hotel, and then after 19h00 enjoy a night walk in the area of Andasibe to observe night active lemurs and other nocturnal animals. Back to hotel where we overnight.
(If your flight means you arrive too late to Vakona Forest lodge to partake in the night walk, it will be done on the next evening). [B]
Day 6: Natural Reserve of Andasibe
After breakfast, we take a morning visit to the Special Reserve of Andasibe, where you will discover the many species dwelling in the forest. In particular, your guide will search for the Indri Indri, the largest lemurs on the island. This 810 ha reserve is unique with its endemic fauna and flora. It contains a wide variety of orchids, canopy, and endemic animals like chameleons, tenrecs, and many birds.
We also visit the Orchid garden, after which we return to our hotel for lunch.
In the afternoon, you will visit Lemur Island at Vakona Forest Lodge to meet the resident Lemurs up close! The rest of your afternoon is at leisure – why not take some time to relax by the pool, enjoy a horse ride, or visit the Private Park of Vakona (horse-riding and visit to Private park are optional extras). [B]
