This 7-day “Family Holiday” itinerary is the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion for families looking to explore the wonders of Madagascar.
The trip starts in the bustling capital of Antananarivo, before whisking you away to the tranquillity of Anjajavy le Lodge, a haven nestled on a breathtaking peninsula on Madagascar’s northwest coast. Turquoise waters, a vibrant nature reserve, and pristine beaches await you. Anjajavy is the perfect place to relax with those dear to you. Embark with the family on a guided nature walk to discover Madagascar’s unique flora and fauna. Explore the impressive tsingys (razor-sharp limestone formations) and towering baobabs alongside playful brown lemurs and agile sifakas.
Beyond exploration, Anjajavy offers pure relaxation. Soak up the sun on pristine beaches, snorkel in the Marine Protected Area, marvel at the whimsical mushroom islands, or witness a breathtaking sunset from the mangroves.
For a deeper cultural experience, connect with the local Sakalava people from neighbouring villages and immerse yourself in their traditions.

The afternoon is yours to relax and recharge, or explore at your own pace. The bustling markets and captivating museums are both within easy walking distance of your hotel. Alternatively, why not take a tuk-tuk (taxi) and visit the Andafiavaratra Palace Museum and immerse yourself in Malagasy history?
