Arrival in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, where you will be met in the morning at the airport or at your hotel, depending on required collection point. After a brief driving tour around Tana, we will drive 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. We stop for lunch at the Reptile & Butterfly farm, finally arriving to Andasibe between 15h00 and 17h00.

Check-in to the hotel, and then at approximately 19h00 we enjoy a night walk in the Reserve of Andasibe to observe night active lemurs and other nocturnal animals.
