Andohahela National Park: Private Full-Day Rainforest Expedition

Plunge into one of Madagascar's last intact spiny-forest and rainforest mosaics — a UNESCO-listed biodiversity hotspot. With a private naturalist guide, track lemurs, chameleons, and endemic birds through trails rarely walked by outsiders.

What to expect

Your private 4×4 collects you dockside and winds through southern Madagascar's dramatic landscape to Andohahela, a park that spans three distinct ecosystems in one day. Your expert naturalist guide leads you along forest trails where ring-tailed lemurs, sifakas, and dozens of chameleon species appear at close range. Lunch is arranged at a scenic stop overlooking the forest canopy. The return journey skirts the coastline, offering sweeping Indian Ocean panoramas as you head back to port.
