What shapes a WAU journey
Every route has its own mix of places. These are the experiences you can compare across the programme, along with the practical arrangements included in our small group tours.
01
People and everyday life
Villages, markets and highland towns are part of the journey. Local guides help you understand the places you visit, beyond the view from the road.
02
Wildlife and wild places
Explore forests, national parks and reserves with guides who know the area. Look for lemurs, chameleons, birds and distinctive plant life without expecting a guaranteed sighting.
03
Time on the coast
Several routes include coastal villages and beach time. Choose one of these journeys if you want time by the sea alongside the forest, river or highland stages.
04
Baobab country
Western routes bring you to the Avenue of the Baobabs and dry forest landscapes. Some also visit the distinctive baobabs near Andavadoaka.
05
River travel and camping
Selected routes include the Tsiribihina River, with travel by boat, a waterfall stop and nights camping beside the river. Check your itinerary for this part of the journey.
