Madagascar

Zingi means «a place where you can’t walk barefoot» in Madagascar. This place, which can be called limestone needle forest, was under the sea 150 million years ago. Sea level has fallen and rain erosion has created this incredible landscape.
Sidewalks are designed to explore and travel through narrow canyons using steel ladders and cables. The steep roads continue and require a bit of strength, but it’s worth the time to see this beautiful landscape.
If you’re lucky, you can see lemurs jumping from rock to rock.

Just as lemurs are the iconic animals of Madagascar, the tree-lined avenue of Baobab is also one of the representative images of the country. Baobab is a word from Madagascar that means «the mother of the forest» and is a suitable name for a tree that reaches 800 years of age, with a height of about 30 meters and a long one. This natural landscape is called the most beautiful road in Madagascar. Twenty to twenty-five trees line along a road of about 260 meters. The trees were part of a rich and diverse forest lost through mass deforestation.
The trees have long shadows and the sky is pink or purple, and the view is especially spectacular during sunrise and sunset.

The Isalo National Park is like a museum dedicated to the art of desert canyon. The gorges are filled with yellow savannah herbs, sculpted hills, vertical rock walls and, best of all, deep canyon floors crossed by streams, lush vegetation and swimming pools. All this changes with light, culminating in extraordinary sunsets under a great sky. Add all this for easy access from the RN7 and you’ll understand why this is Madagascar’s most visited park.

In more than 800 square kilometers, there is plenty of space for exploration, with everything from two-hour walks to week-long walks. The park is served by the small town of Ranohira, which contains the park office and most cheap hotels and restaurants, while the fabulous resorts stretch along the park’s southern border.

It is one of the national parks in Madagascar, about 160 km east of the capital Antananarivo.
The green, unspoiled nature and its stunning beauty are there.
Composed of two parks, it is famous as a habitat for indris that emit unusual sounds. This animal is considered sacred by Madagascar.
However, Indri’s unique cry is just one of the park’s attractions. The park is home to 14 lemurs, 117 birds and 84 amphibians. In addition, more than 1,200 species of plants are naturally produced, 120 of which are orchids.

Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, also known as Tana, is a colorful city full of energy and culture. As a center of politics and power for centuries, the city has a long history and colonial architecture. There is also a lively market and lots of good food.
To the northeast of the city, you will find the royal land of Anbuhimanga Hill, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Anbuhimanga means a beautiful blue hill, and there are the royal ruins of the Kingdom of Melina, the first unified Madagascar. The 1,468 m high hill offers magnificent views of the surrounding area.

Located in the center of the island of Madagascar, Antsirabe is a little cooler than the rest of the region and has great colonial architecture. There are various activities, such as hiking, cycling and horseback riding in the rickshaws that are the hallmark of the city.

For those who want to relax, we recommend visiting one of the six spas famous for Antsirabe. And if you like shopping, you can shop at Sabotsy Market, which is comparable to the Moroccan souk. The market is open every day, but Saturday is the most active.

The coast of rock and sand, Ifaty is a popular beach for travelers in Madagascar.

Numerous resorts line the street, many of which offer guests a whale watching tour and a boat ride to the lagoon. The water is warm, transparent and rich in fish, making it a great place to dive.

If you want to go a little further, you can dive and see sharks in the water. It consists of two small fishing villages, far from the center of the capital, and is a perfect place to relax and rest.
