Want to avoid backtracking on Route 7 to Tana? Want to see more and catch the Baobabs at Morondava with an appetite for adventure and limited time? This trip is for bold, adventurous, medium-budget travellers - too expensive for backpackers using SUVs, with no buses available, and too rough for the luxury bracket. It is designed for those in Madagascar who want to head into the far wilderness, explore untrodden stretches and uncrowded beaches, and spend their time diving and delving into more remote regions of the island where few tourists go, and where more primal and untouched landscapes still exist.
