Start off your honeymoon with an adventurous hike through the lush rainforest of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, home to a variety of lemurs and exotic plant species. Listen out for the indri-indri's unique call, the largest of all the lemurs.
Embark on another day of hiking and exploration through Ankarana Reserve, a striking limestone massif with diverse fauna such as ring-tailed lemurs, fossas, and chameleons as well as stunning geologic formations like the Tsingy - a labyrinth of razor-sharp pinnacles.
Visit the otherworldly Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park, home to unique karstic pinnacles that reach up to 60 meters high. If you are up for a thrill, try the Via Ferrata, an adrenaline-inducing route consisting of suspended bridges and cliff-side ladders.
Head west to the sunny coast of Ifaty to soak up the sun on the beach and enjoy snorkeling or diving in the warm waters of Mozambique Channel. Sip on refreshing cocktails while watching the sunset on this idyllic paradise.
End your honeymoon on a romantic stargazing session in Reniala Private Reserve, a top bird-watching and botanical site in Madagascar. Admire the Milky Way and other celestial bodies like you've never seen them before, thanks to the reserve's low light pollution.
During this 5-day itinerary, travelers will need to book private transport or a car rental to move from one location to another, as there is no reliable public transport system between the sites. Costs average £600 for a private driver for the entire journey.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Avenue des Baobabs or Nosy Be Island. For a shorter itinerary, you can remove one of the parks (Ankarana or Tsingy) and adjust your transportation accordingly.
Ivato International Airport (TNR) is the main airport in Antananarivo, located about 16 km (10 miles) from the city center. Other airports in Madagascar include Fascene Airport (NOS) in Nosy Be and Ivato Airport in Diego Suarez.
