Highlights

Ankarana Special Reserve - The national park is made up of an immense limestone plain, once underwater, which has gradually resurfaced through plate tectonics.
Erosion has progressively sculpted the limestone into the shape of sharp points, the Tsingy.
The park can be visited through 8 itineraries of variable length.
The Tsingys divide the park into two, a landscape of dry savannah and an evergreen forest.
Crossed by numerous gorges and rivers, Ankarana also has the largest network of interconnected underground caves in Africa with a total length of 120km. Some of them can be visited, others are sacred.
The caves of Ankarana, as well as the Tsingy, offer a particular habitat for specialized animals and plants.
Blind fish, crabs, arachnids and bats.
Eleven species of lemur live in the dry forest.
With close attention many of the 60 species of reptiles can also be found including the panther chameleon or leaf-tailed geckos.

An unforgettable journey - It was a fantastic experience and thanks to Julien everything was perfect! He made us discover beautiful places, told so many things about Malagasy culture and also taught us so many words of this wonderful language. Julien is exceptional, attentive, kind, funny, considerate! The tour was organized in every detail and everything went perfectly. We loved this country so much and can't wait to come back to discover the places we haven't been able to see yet. Thank you Julien for everything you made us live!!!

We had a amazing trip to... - We had a amazing trip to the north! Julien was incredibly good at organizing this tour. We came a few days after the tornado had broken many of the bridges leading north, and we met many travellers who got their tours cancelled, but Julian had fixed alternative ways of transportation with boat and motorbike so it became a even bigger adventure! The nature in the north is stunning! Our favorite places became the thingy rouge and the deserted beaches in the north! We wish we had time to see the big Tsingys, so if this is important to you, say it it advance so it can be planned in to the tour. We recoment this tour!

UNIQUE...18 star experience - Spectacular tour, organized down to the smallest detail by Julien. We were staying in Nosy Be and he organized every trip (boat, 4x4 off-road vehicle) and hotel accommodation during the various stages, obviously always with him present accompanying us. Serious, prepared, kind and friendly. He made us discover a less touristy, but beautiful Madagascar and allowed us to fully enter into their culture and traditions. The tour is immersive and allows you to be completely in contact with nature and the landscapes are breathtaking. I would add that Julien knows where to make you taste their typical dishes and they are not to be missed.

Impeccable! - Unforgettable experience . Tour that allows you to visit the real Madagascar, the one far from mass destinations. Natural parks and uncontaminated landscapes. Julien is impeccable: precise, thoughtful, attentive to every single need. I can't wait to go back

Unforgettable experience - Organized tour with Alpitour, very high price and poor quality of services. We traveled in 15 in a small, uncomfortable bus, with smooth wheels, absolutely not suitable for the dirt roads we crossed. This obviously resulted in eternal travel times, while all off-roaders overtook us and inconvenience in the journey. Consequently everything we managed to visit, all beautiful (disappointed only by the Amber Forest), was done with reduced time. Very good hotel. Characteristic but uncomfortable lodges. In every cao an unforgettable experience

Beautiful but the breakdown of the roads clouds all the wonders - A tour to see the real Madagascar and not stay at Nosy Be Resort.... The parks... the Tsingy... nature.... The villages very poor but with people always smiling... the white beaches.... The Emerald Sea All clouded by crazy roads with potholes and craters everywhere
