When you think about the things you can do in Madagascar, you cannot imagine anything more magnificent than a walk among the 30-meter-tall baobabs at the Avenue of the Baobabs. Be sure to visit Isalo National Park with its canyons and natural pools. And for the perfect getaway, there is also the island of Nosy Be with its turquoise waters and more than 20 diving spots.
1. Avenue of the Baobabs
Morondava
A unique avenue of giant trees that you will not find anywhere else in the world. Stroll among the giant baobabs at sunset and feel a silence broken only by the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Kiired faktid: Some baobabs are over 800 years old and have enormous trunks that can hold up to 120,000 liters of water. Most of these giants grow up to 30 meters tall, and during the dry season they shed their leaves and look as if they are growing with their roots pointing upward.
Esiletõstmised: At sunset the trees turn into silhouettes against the orange sky, creating a scene as if painted by Salvador Dali himself. During the full moon, honey lemurs come out of the forest to feed on the baobab flowers, a rare and magical sight.
2. Isalo National Park
Ranohira
Discover the wild beauty of canyons and natural pools shaped by erosion over millions of years. You will walk past lemurs, swim in a natural pool, and admire the views from rocky plateaus.
Kiired faktid: See 81 500 hektari suurune park Lõuna-Madagaskaril tekkis umbes 200 miljonit aastat tagasi, kui liivakivid said oma tänase kuju. Igal aastal külastab seda umbes 50 000 turisti, keda meelitavad hingematvad kanjonid, looduslikud basseinid ja endeemilised taimeliigid.
Esiletõstmised: Paragis elab võrksaba-leemur, keda looduses leidub ainult Madagaskaril, tema rühmi kohtab sageli kanjonit läbiva matkaraja ääres. Paragis südames asub looduslik bassein nimega Piscine Naturelle, kus saab kristallselges vees end värskendada kuiva savanni keskel.
3. Nosy Be
Nosy Be
An island that smells of ylang-ylang and where humpback whales leap out of the water just a stone's throw from the shore. You will swim along coral reefs, stroll through vanilla plantations, and in the evening eat freshly caught seafood at sunset.
Kiired faktid: Asub Madagaskari looderanniku ääres ja on tuntud ylang-ylangi istanduste poolest, mis annavad saarele magusa troopiliste lillede lõhna. Igal aastal meelitab see rohkem kui 120 000 külastajat, kes tulevad leemurite, küürvaalade ja hingematvate randade pärast.
Esiletõstmised: Nosy Be saare lahes koguneb juunist septembrini rohkem kui 7000 küürvaala, mis on üks planeedi suurimaid kontsentratsioone. Kohalikud kalurid oskavad paadi nende vahele täiesti hääletult sõidutada, nii et kuuled 15-meetrise hiiglase hingamist vaevalt kümne meetri kauguselt.
4. Andasibe-Mantadia National Park
Andasibe
The only place in the world where you will see and hear the indri in its natural habitat. At sunrise you will be awakened by its enchanting call, then you will chase glimpses of dozens of lemur species through the dense rainforest.
Kiired faktid: Siin elab maailma suurim leemur, indri, kelle kõrvulukustav hommikune laul kostub rohkem kui kolme kilomeetri kaugusele. Park kaitseb üht viimast osa Madagaskari madaliku vihmametsast, kus on avastatud üle 100 orhideeliigi.
Esiletõstmised: Enne päikesetõusu kostab läbi metsa sürreaalne indride koor, mida kohalikud kirjeldavad kui esivanemate vaimude laulu. Teadlased on avastanud, et need leemurite laulud teenivad territooriumi märgistamist ja kanduvad perekondade vahel edasi juba mitu põlvkonda.
5. Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park
Antsalova
Climb among the sharp limestone needles that reach to the sky like knives. Walk across hanging bridges and discover the secretive world of lemurs and rocky labyrinths.
Kiired faktid: Park hõlmab 157 000 hektarit lubjakivist kivimoodustisi, mille on vorminud maa-alused jõed miljonite aastate jooksul. Siin elab 11 liiki leemureid, sealhulgas haruldane valge leemur, keda leidub ainult sellel alal.
Esiletõstmised: ParKis on teravikulised lubjakivised nõelad, kuni 120 meetri kõrgused, mille vahel ripuvad sillad, mis õõtsuvad kuni 60 meetrit maapinnast. Pinna all peitub koobaste ja maa-aluste jõgede võrgustik, kus elab pime kala Typhleotris madagascariensis.
6. Lemurs' Park
Antananarivo
The only place in the world where you can walk freely among wild lemurs without fences. In the embrace of the Madagascan forest you will feel the wild within arm's reach.
Kiired faktid: More than 60 lemurs of seven different species live here, freely jumping around the 5 hectares of forest. The founders opened the park in 2000 with the aim of protecting these endangered animals from the loss of their natural habitat.
Esiletõstmised: Visitors can feed the lemurs right from their hand, as the animals are completely accustomed to human presence. A special feeling is when a black-and-white ruffed lemur jumps onto your shoulder while you feed it a piece of banana.
7. Analakely Market
Antananarivo
The true heart of everyday life in the capital, where scents of vanilla, dried fish, and cinnamon mingle. A stroll among the stalls will give you a taste of a genuine Madagascan adventure.
Kiired faktid: Every day more than 10,000 sellers and buyers meet here, creating a lively trading hub in the middle of Antananarivo. The market has been operating since 1932 and offers everything from fresh spices to handcrafted wooden masks.
Esiletõstmised: Under huge canvas canopies stretched right across the main street, sellers display felted textiles and unique items made from zebu horn. Climb the nearby steps of Place de l'Indépendance, from where the whole market is visible as a colorful mosaic of bright roofs and bustling people.
8. Ifaty Beach
Ifaty
Escape to a tropical paradise where turquoise seas meet endless palm plantations. Breathtaking sunsets, coral reefs, and unique wildlife await you.
Kiired faktid: Ifaty lahes asub üks suurimaid korallriffe Lõuna-India ookeani edelaosas, mis ulatub rohkem kui 20 kilomeetrit mööda rannikut. Ümbritsevates vetes elab üle 130 liigi koralle ja ligi 500 liiki kalu, hooajal viibivad siin ka küürvaalad.
Esiletõstmised: Kui kõnnid mööda randa mõõna ajal, saad madalas vees jälgida värvilisi meretähti ja väikseid kaheksajalgu, kes peidavad end kiviste basseinide vahel. Just siin, mangrove ja luidete vahel, elab haruldane sifaka Verreaux' leemur, keda leiad ainult Madagaskarilt.
9. Parc National de Ranomafana
Ranomafana
Step into a world where lemurs leap among the bamboo and the rare golden lemur enjoys deadly shoots. Stroll along winding rainforest trails full of hidden waterfalls and the shrieks of wild animals.
Kiired faktid: This rainforest in southeastern Madagascar is home to more than 12 species of lemurs, including the rare bamboo lemur. In 1990 it was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, as it hides incredible biodiversity with over a hundred endemic species of plants and animals.
Esiletõstmised: In 1986 scientists discovered here a completely new species of mammal, the golden bamboo lemur, which nobody had known until then. Its main diet contains enough cyanide to kill most other animals, and the lemur digests it without difficulty.

Skip the taxi brousse if you can afford a private driver. The local buses are crammed, break down constantly, and add hours to your trip. Split a 4x4 with other travelers, way more worth it.
Download Maps.me offline before you go. Google Maps is useless there. Also bring cash from the airport ATM. Most towns have zero working card machines and the exchange rate at hotels is a total ripoff.
Loved the landscapes but Antananarivo was honestly chaotic and overwhelming. The food scene outside the capital is way better. Street markets near the coast had fresh seafood for cheap.
The baobabs at sunset are unreal. But honestly the roads are terrible. We budgeted 2 hours for a drive that took 6. Plan extra time everywhere or you'll stress yourself out.
Best trip of my life and I've been to 30 countries. The people are so warm, the nature is raw and untouched. Stay at least 2 weeks, anything less and you'll regret rushing.
