Andasibe Pre Tour
AntananarivoAntananarivo
Start your Madagascar journey with time in the rainforest. This private extension takes you east from Antananarivo to Andasibe, where forest walks give you time to listen for indri calls and notice the smaller life around you. We work with local guides who know the places we visit. After your stay in Andasibe, return to Antananarivo for the next stage of your WAU trip.
