Day 2
Antananarivo - Maroantsetra. Today you will be transferred to the airport for your flight to Maroantsetra. You will be met at the airport and a transfer will take you to your hotel. Maroantsetra is a charming town situated at the bottom of the Antongil Bay, in a beautiful riverine scenery where the scent of vanilla and cloves fills the air. Its surrounding area is lush and green, and is dotted with rice paddies and stands of coconut palm. [B]
Day 3
Maroantsetra - Masoala. You will be transferred to the port where you will embark a boat to Masoala. The Masoala Peninsula is the site of a 230,000 ha national park containing one of the best rainforests in the country and the largest protected area, terrestrial and marine, in Madagascar. After our arrival we will go on a 3 hour walk in the primary forest to see reptiles, birds, lemurs and orchids as well as rare and unique species such as the green lizard, the red owl, the tomato frog or the serpent eagle.

Day 4
Masoala. We will start our day with a 3 hour bird watching excursion followed by a visit to a typical village with plantations of vanilla, cloves and coffee. Masoala Peninsula is one of Madagascar's premier trekking and hiking areas. It also offers excellent opportunities for sea kayaking and snorkelling - a simple mask is enough to admire the colourful marine world. Between July and September you will also have the chance to see the majestic humpback whale in the Bay of Antongil. [BLD]

Masoala - Nosy Mangabe. You will go on a boat transfer to Nosy Mangabe, a scenic island with a variety of wildlife. This reserve is also one of the best places to see aye-ayes in the wild. We will visit the reserve to admire its endemic flora and fauna. Later you will have the exciting opportunity to see the Betsimisaraka tombs. The Betsimisaraka tribe is Madagascar?s second largest ethnic group and inhabits most of the central and north-eastern coastal region. The name Betsimisaraka, which means "those who stand together", refers to the time when the tribe?s confederation was forged from several smaller tribes in the early 18th century. In the evening we will go on a night walk in the reserve where we will have the chance to spot the endangered aye-aye, the world?s largest nocturnal primate. [BLD]

After breakfast you will be transferred to the airport for your flight to Antananarivo, where a transfer will take you to your hotel in Antananarivo, the picturesque capital of Madagascar. You can wander through the capital?s steep and narrow streets, taking in its architecture, atmosphere and pace.
