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.
Raske fakta: Noen baobabtrær er over 800 år gamle og har enorme stammer som kan inneholde opptil 120.000 liter vann. De fleste av disse gigantene blir opptil 30 meter høye, og i tørkeperioden mister de bladene og ser ut som om de vokser med røttene opp.
Høydepunkter: Ved solnedgang forvandles trærne til silhuetter mot en oransje himmel, noe som skaper et bilde som om Salvador Dali selv hadde malt det. Under fullmåne kommer lemurer ut fra skogen for å spise av baobabtrærnes blomster, noe som er et sjeldent og magisk syn.
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.
Raske fakta: Denne 81 500 hektar store parken på sørlige Madagaskar ble til for omtrent 200 millioner år siden, da sandsteinen fikk sin nåværende form. Hvert år besøkes den av rundt 50 000 reisende som tiltrekkes av fantastiske kløfter, naturlige bassenger og endemiske plantearter.
Høydepunkter: I parken lever ringhalede lemurer, som i naturen bare finnes på Madagaskar, og gruppene deres møter du ofte på turen gjennom kløftene. Midt i parken ligger naturbassenget Piscine Naturelle, hvor du kan kjøle deg ned i krystallklart vann midt i det tørre savannelandskapet.
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.
Raske fakta: It lies off the northwestern coast of Madagascar and is known for its ylang-ylang plantations, which give the island a sweet scent of tropical roses. Every year it attracts more than 120,000 visitors, who come for the lemurs, humpback whales, and breathtaking beaches.
Høydepunkter: In the bay of the Nosy Be island, more than 7,000 humpback whales gather between June and September, one of the largest concentrations on the planet. Local fishermen can bring a boat among them almost silently, so you hear the breathing of a 15-meter giant barely ten meters away.
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.
Raske fakta: Her bor verdens største lemur, indri, hvis øredøvende morgensang kan høres mer enn tre kilometer unna. Parken beskytter en av de siste restene av lavlandsregnskog på Madagaskar, hvor man har oppdaget mer enn 100 orkidéarter.
Høydepunkter: Før soloppgang sprer et surrealistisk kor av indrier seg gjennom skogen, som lokalbefolkningen beskriver som sangen til forfedrenes ånder. Forskere har oppdaget at disse lemurenes sanger tjener som territoriummarkering og har blitt overført mellom familier i flere generasjoner.
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.
Raske fakta: Parken dekker 157 000 hektar med kalksteinsklippeformasjoner som underjordiske elver har formet gjennom millioner av år. Her lever 11 arter av lemurer, inkludert den sjeldne hvite lemuren som bare finnes i dette området.
Høydepunkter: I parken finnes koniske kalksteinsnåler opptil 120 meter høye, med hengebroer som svinger opptil 60 meter over bakken. Under overflaten skjuler det seg et nettverk av grotter og underjordiske elver, der den blinde fisken Typhleotris madagascariensis lever.
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.
Raske fakta: Her lever over 60 lemurer av syv ulike arter som fritt hopper rundt i 5 hektar skog. Grunnleggerne åpnet parken i 2000 for å beskytte disse truede dyrene mot tap av naturlig leveområde.
Høydepunkter: Besøkende kan mate lemurene rett fra hånden, siden dyrene er helt vant til menneskelig tilstedeværelse. Det er en helt spesiell følelse når en svart-hvit vari-lemur hopper opp på skulderen din mens du mater den med et bananstykke.
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.
Raske fakta: 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.
Høydepunkter: 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.
Raske fakta: I Ifaty-bukta ligger et av de største korallrevene i det sørvestlige Indiahavet, og det strekker seg over 20 kilometer langs kysten. I de omkringliggende farvannene lever over 130 korallarter og nesten 500 fiskearter, og i sesongen holder pukkelhvaler også til her.
Høydepunkter: Når du går langs stranden ved fjære sjø, kan du i det grunne vannet observere fargerike sjøstjerner og små blekkspruter som gjemmer seg mellom steinbassengene. Nettopp her, mellom mangrovene og sanddynene, holder den sjeldne Verreaux-sifakaen til, en lemurart som bare finnes på Madagaskar.
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.
Raske fakta: Denne regnskogen sørøst på Madagaskar er hjem for mer enn 12 lemurarter, inkludert den sjeldne bambuslemuren. I 1990 ble den satt på Unescos verdensarvliste, for den skjuler en utrolig biologisk mangfoldighet med flere hundre endemiske plante- og dyrearter.
Høydepunkter: Her oppdaget forskere i 1986 et helt nytt pattedyr, den gyldne bambuslemuren, som ingen hadde kjent til før. Føden dens inneholder nok cyanid til å drepe de fleste andre dyr, men lemuren fordøyer det uten problemer.

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.
