Madagascar: Mangoky River / Rainforest & The West |
|||||||
We invite you to join Remote River Expeditions on this unique adventure to discover the 'Great Red Island'
and the joys of river camping. And, of course, lemurs, chameleons, baobabs, orchids, exciting birds,
bizarre spiny desert, beautiful forest, and the endearing Malagasy people.
An active yet leisurely paced adventure, we investigate a variety of ecosystems and a wonderfully remote river journey on the Mangoky River. A premier destination for lovers of wildlife, Madagascar is a safe and wonderful place to visit. Phenomenal in its uniqueness, Madagascar's natural beauty is visually sensational. Highlights of our multi-activity tour include:
![]() Returning to Antananarivo we fly to Toliara in the southwest and begin our overland journey to the Mangoky River. We travel eastward overland to Sakaraha, where we head north leaving the tarmac on a sandy track that crosses the Fiherenena River and follows a plateau dotted with huge Mahafaly tombs to the banks of the Mangoky River. ![]() We see peregrines nesting at the Ampandra confluence, Madagascar buzzards, cuckoo-rollers, and many herons (gray, purple, Humblot's squacco, green-backed, plus great white and dimorphic egrets). Knob-billed and white-faced whistling ducks congregate in flocks of up to one thousand. Our campsites are great expanses of pure white sand, bordered by forest, with grand panoramas of river, hills and sky. There's plenty of firewood, bathing is easy and safe, and the forest margins invite individual wanderings or nocturnal lemur-spotting. ![]() Remote? In the 160 km from Beroroha to Bevoay, we'll neither hear nor see a vehicle or any sort of machine, except for an occasional airplane. The 160 km is a physical challenge that will give a real sense of accomplishment, as well as enhance fitness, and stimulate the appetite for tasty meals prepared on the open fire. ![]() After a full day in Ifaty, we drive to Tulear for our flight north to Morondava. Our home base for the next four nights is a lovely coastal resort, the Chez Maggie Hotel. Here we have time to enjoy the 'mora mora' pace of this friendly coastal fishing town. Along with relaxing on the beach or by the swimming pool we have time to explore Morondava, paddle in the nearby mangrove swamp, sail on the Mozambique Channel and sample the the excellent cuisine of the Chez Maggie. From Morondava we’ll travel north to visit the extremely rich Kirindy Forest Reserve with time at the world famous Avenue of the Baobabs. Following our time in Morondava we return to the capital and complete our visit to the Great Red Island with a sunset farewell dinner celebration with live music at Grill du Rova overlooking the city.
