Day 2- By plane we reach Tulear
There are many fishing villages along the dusty track that runs along the coast.The southern regions (from Tulear to Fort Dauphin) are the focus of interest for visitors and botanists due to their unique vegetation (dwarf baobabs, euphorbias, aloe, ....).Before Tulear, the sandy track heads south through remote areas. Before approaching the headland of Sarondrano which stretches between sand dunes and mangrove forests in the turquoise blue Lagon it becomes exciting.Between Tulear and Saint Augustin is one of the most pleasant guesthouses I know on this island, "Résidence Eden Lodge" is still an insider tip but it will soon get around and there are very few accommodation options.Overnight in the hotel Résidence Eden Lodge

Day 6 - From Mozambique Channel to Isalo
Continue north: Savannah and desert landscapes follow until Ilakaka, the town that for almost 20 years has magically attracted the world's largest open sapphire mines to prospectors and traders.Also to be seen along the road: The famous Mahafaly tombs and by "Aloalos"- wooden steles decorated with geometric motifs - naively describe with simple scenes what was important in the life of the deceased. In the interior, on the other hand, there are few opportunities for life and yet people live there in unimaginable conditions, agriculture and animal husbandry are almost impossible due to the extreme drought.A visit to Zoombitse-Vohibasia is definitely worthwhile, there are local endemic birds, insects, lemurs and ancient baobabs to observe.Overnight stay at the hotel "Isalo Rock Lodge****".

Continuing north, the landscape becomes green and pleasant, we leave the savannah quickly, because the road is well developed.Before Ambalavao walks are possible in a reserve founded and managed by the village community there, it is the: "Association Anja Miray", called Anja Park for short. In the reserve of about 3 hectares there are hundreds of calicoes, also rare reptiles like the dwarf chameleon Brookesia can be seen. The park is also home to several burial caves and spiritual meeting places of the local Betsileo people and is well worth the 2 to 4 hour stay.

Day 9 - From Ambalavao to Ranomafana
After leaving the peaceful village of Ambalavao behind us, the drive continues on the well paved road further and further north. Huge granite rocks, increasingly barren red laterite soil and meager grasses can be seen, the landscape changes tremendously when you get up to the pass with the beautiful viewpoint. From there you can once again see very far down into the valley of Ambalavao, which lies peacefully between the high mountains.Then drive through many small villages whose colors vary from red earth color to bright red with green background. The landscape is lush green, the rice fields are a mosaic of all possible shades of green in the mirror of countless ponds. The region of Fianarantsoa is intensively used for agriculture. (mainly tea, wine and rice). In Fianarantsoa you will visit the photo studio of the world famous photographer Pierrot Men.About 40 km after Fianarantsoa the landscape changes again very dramatically, it becomes much greener and the trees become denser and taller.

Day 12 - From Antsirabe via Faratsio to Ampefy

Drive via Faratsio on a new road over 2000m high to Ampefy to relax in a very peaceful volcanic landscape.

Day 14 - Ampefy and Surroundings
The Waterfall Lily for example, is an absolute highlight - it can be reached on foot within a good hour from Ampefy or by off-road vehicle via a pothole-strewn dirt road within about 30 minutes. Several meters wide the water rushes 20 meters into the depth! The best thing about it - you can watch the spectacle up close - a narrow path leads to the foot of the waterfall - here you can sit on large stones and forget about time to the sound of the water.Another sight of the region are the only Geysers on Madagascar - located in the middle of nowhere. However, these are artificially created geysers, whose water is also not hot but rather lukewarm. The water is the waste water of the surrounding mineral mines. Since this water contains a lot of carbonic acid, it dissolves the deposits of lime and iron from the pipes on the way - in the case of the geysers, it bubbles to the surface and the lime is deposited. This is how the geysers grow more and more over the years. Even if they are not natural geysers, they are fascinating yellow and red colored and worth a trip.

Day 15 - Ampefy to Antananarivo
Even the most beautiful journey has an end, the last stage goes over a very varied landscape towards the capital Antananarivo.
