Day 1 Antananarivo: Salama! Welcome to Madagascar.
An arrival transfer is included. If you have confirmed your transfer by providing your flight details (at least 15 days prior) a local representative will be waiting for you and will transfer you to the Hotel Royal Palissandre (or similar).
The remainder of the afternoon is free for relaxation or exploring. Stroll through the vibrant street markets or climb up to the palace overlooking the region. The city's name translates to 'City of a Thousand' from the time a thousand men conquered the hill the palace is built on.

Overnight: Hotel Royal Palissandre (or similar)
Located in Madagascar's capital Antananarivo, the Royal Palissandre provides comfortable rooms all with en-suite facilities, TV, mini bar, and air-conditioning. From the hotel terrace, guests can enjoy views overlooking the Analakely area of the city in downtown Antananarivo. The hotel also has a good restaurant and bar as well as a swimming pool.
Days 2-5 Ile Ste Marie: After a leisurely start, transfer to the airport for a midday flight to the Island of Ste Marie (formally known as Nosy Boraha). On arrival transfer to the Princesse Bora Lodge.
This tiny island is often referred to as the Garden Island for its lush vegetation. With pristine beaches, secluded bays and a rich history involving pirates and shipwrecks, it's a great place to get away from it all.
Spend time at your leisure perhaps exploring the island or taking part in the many optional activities. Search for sunken treasure by snorkelling or scuba diving, enjoy excursions by boat or go for a cycle around the island.

Overnight: Princesse Bora Lodge
In the middle of a palm tree grove, on the edge of a white sand beach, its fifteen villas are beautiful. In this eco-tourist complex, the real luxuries are the space, the magic view of the lagoon, the refinement of the materials and of the local style, the originality of the suspended beds, and also of the hammocks for two, with artistically draped mosquito nets.
On the evening of day 5 you will return back to Antananarivo for the night.
