The perfect 2-week Madagascar itinerary
Two weeks is a great length for a first trip to Madagascar. This sample route balances rainforest wildlife, dramatic landscapes and the iconic baobabs, without rushing. We adapt every detail to you.
Days 1 to 4: rainforest and the indri
Start near the capital and head to Andasibe for forest walks and a night walk, meeting the indri and your first chameleons. This eases you into the wildlife and the rhythm of travel before the longer drives.
Days 5 to 10: the legendary RN7
Turn south on the RN7, the country's classic road trip. Stop in the highland towns, the misty rainforest of Ranomafana, the craft town of Ambositra, and the sandstone canyons of Isalo National Park. Each day brings a new landscape and new wildlife.
Days 11 to 14: baobabs or beaches
Finish with a flourish. Fly west for the Avenue of the Baobabs and Kirindy Forest, or unwind on the beaches and reefs of the coast. Either way, you end on a high before flying home.
