This exceptional itinerary combines Madagascar’s most iconic natural landmarks with the elegance and relaxation of Mauritius. Designed for travelers seeking variety, depth, and comfort, this journey moves seamlessly from wildlife-rich rainforests and dramatic landscapes to pristine beaches and refined island experiences.
Your Madagascar Mauritius group tours begin in the capital and travel through the island’s most celebrated regions before concluding with a scenic flight to Mauritius.
This tour takes you through the following highlights:
Antananarivo
Andasibe National Park
Morondava and the Avenue of Baobabs
Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park
Ranomafana National Park
Isalo National Park
Tulear
Flight to Mauritius
Each destination has been selected for its natural significance, scenic beauty, and contribution to a well-balanced travel experience.
Andasibe National Park is located in eastern Madagascar, approximately 140 kilometers from Antananarivo. The park is composed of two protected areas:
Analamazaotra Special Reserve (810 hectares)
Mantadia National Park (15,500 hectares)
Together, they cover more than 16,000 hectares of lush rainforest.
The climate is cool and humid, with an average annual temperature of 18°C and rainfall spread throughout the year. As a result, the forest remains green and vibrant year-round.
Around 80% of the park is primary forest, offering a pristine habitat for wildlife. The reserve was created specifically to protect the indri, the largest living lemur species.
In addition, visitors may encounter:
Multiple lemur species
Rich birdlife
Reptiles and amphibians
An orchid garden open to the public
With its trails, campsites, and nearby lodge, Andasibe is considered one of the most rewarding nature experiences in Madagascar.
Near Morondava lies the world-famous Avenue of Baobabs, where towering Adansonia grandidieri trees line a sandy track. These baobabs reach heights of 30 meters and are estimated to be over 800 years old.
Locally known as renala, meaning “mother of the forest,” these trees are living remnants of once-dense tropical forests.
As agriculture expanded, much of the surrounding forest disappeared. However, baobabs were preserved due to their cultural importance and practical uses, including food and construction materials.
Today, this avenue stands as one of the most photographed landscapes in Madagascar and a defining moment of Madagascar Mauritius group tours.
Located approximately 200 kilometers north of Morondava, Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park spans more than 150,000 hectares. It is recognized as both a World Natural Heritage Site and a national cultural treasure.
The park’s dramatic limestone formations began forming millions of years ago when the region lay beneath the sea. Over time, uplift, erosion, and acidic rain sculpted sharp pinnacles, deep canyons, and underground passages.
Bemaraha is one of Madagascar’s most important areas of endemism, with 80–90% of species found nowhere else.
The park shelters:
11 species of lemurs
17 rare reptile species, including Brookesia perarmata
Endemic rodents and amphibians
Over 600 plant species, including baobabs, aloes, and flamboyant trees
This natural “limestone cathedral” is considered one of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth.
Ranomafana National Park lies in southeastern Madagascar, approximately 412 kilometers from Antananarivo. The park protects diverse ecosystems ranging from lowland rainforest to mid-altitude cloud forest.
Altitudes vary between 600 and 1,400 meters, creating ideal conditions for exceptional biodiversity.
Ranomafana is internationally known for the discovery of rare lemur species and hosts:
12 lemur species
115 bird species
Nearly 100 amphibian species
Dozens of reptiles and mammals
The flora is equally impressive, with dense rainforest, bamboo groves, orchids, palms, and tropical hardwoods.
Because of its scientific importance and intact ecosystems, Ranomafana is considered one of Madagascar’s most valuable protected areas.
Isalo National Park, located near Ranohira, covers over 80,000 hectares. Its sandstone formations date back 200 million years, shaped into canyons, cliffs, and plateaus by erosion.
The landscape stretches nearly 100 kilometers from north to south and is unlike anywhere else on the island.
Isalo is home to:
Several lemur species
Over 80 bird species
Reptiles and amphibians adapted to dry environments
The park’s hiking trails lead through canyons, natural pools, palm-lined oases, and panoramic viewpoints. These walks are a highlight for travelers seeking active exploration within Madagascar Mauritius group tours.
After exploring Madagascar’s most iconic regions, the journey continues with a flight to Mauritius, offering a perfect contrast.
In Mauritius, you experience the island from above during a helicopter sightseeing flight, revealing:
Turquoise lagoons
White-sand beaches
Ancient volcanic craters
Lush forests and fields
On land, you explore coastal cliffs, waterfalls, and national parks, including the dramatic landscapes of the island’s southern region.
Mauritius completes the journey with:
Time on pristine beaches
Refined coastal resorts
Leisure, comfort, and relaxation
This final chapter offers a gentle and elegant conclusion to an itinerary rich in nature, culture, and discovery.
This journey is ideal for travelers who want:
Wildlife and landscapes found nowhere else
Structured yet immersive group travel
A balance of exploration and relaxation
Seamless logistics across two countries
From rainforest to stone forest, canyon to coral lagoon, Madagascar Mauritius group tours deliver one of the most complete and rewarding travel experiences in the Indian Ocean.
