Madagascar rewards time. If your trip is short, focus on one region + a strong highlight.
| Trip Length | Route Idea | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 5–7 Days | Antananarivo + Andasibe rainforest + a city/culture day | First-time wildlife |
| 8–12 Days | Tana + Andasibe + west baobabs (Morondava) | Wildlife + iconic scenery |
| 12–16 Days | Tana + Andasibe + Isalo south route | Road trip landscapes |
| 16+ Days | Tana + west route (Baobabs + Tsingy) + beach finish (Nosy Be) | Full Madagascar mix |
Madagascar has different climates by region—choose timing that fits your route and comfort.
For a first-time lemur and rainforest experience (Tana + Andasibe), 5–7 days works. For a mix of wildlife + baobabs, plan 8–12 days. For bigger road trip routes and islands, 14–16+ days is ideal.
Antananarivo + Andasibe (lemurs and rainforest), then add either the Avenue of the Baobabs (west) or Nosy Be for beaches—depending on your priorities.
Both. Madagascar is world-class for unique wildlife (lemurs and rainforest ecosystems), and it also offers excellent island and beach escapes—best as a “finish” after inland adventure.
