• After breakfast, depart for the Red Tsingy, sedimentary formations composed of sand and marl, laterite, and limestone. The Red Tsingy is the result of a unique geological phenomenon in Madagascar. The erosion of the red sandstone has led to the formation of these ephemeral structures, carved according to the whims of the wind and rain, offering a magical landscape of great beauty. The rock composition allows stunning plays of light throughout the day, depending on the sun's orientation.
• After the visit, continue to Ankarana.

Overnight on half board basis at Ankarana Lodge

• After breakfast, depart to visit the National Reserve of Ankarana, a park of great adventure set between wild and mystical nature. It is also home to the largest underground network in Africa. Covering an area of 18,225 ha, the Ankarana National Reserve is the western extension of a limestone massif from the Middle Jurassic that emerges from a basaltic plain located 50 m above sea level. The plateau, a strongly eroded karst formation on the surface, is made up of Tsingy lapiaz. It offers diversified vegetation, from oily plants growing on the high and arid Tsingy to wetter canyon areas sheltered from drought, where fig trees, baobabs, and other tall trees typical of the dry forest thrive. The canyon forests are favourite places to see lemurs, with 11 species found here, including the famous crowned lemur, whose male has dark brown fur.
