rose, and quartz. The following day we visit the wood carvers at
Ambositra.

the golden bamboo hap lemur and is also an exceptional area for

We overnight in Fianarantsoa, the second largest town in Madagascar
and a maze of cobbled lanes, steep alleys and medieval architecture.
Day 9 - 10, Ranohira
The village of Ranohira is situated on the edge of the Isalo National
Park, a magical place where sandstone ridges have been sculpted
by wind and water into weird and fantastic forms. The wildlife encountered
here are the Fosa (largest mammal predator in Madagascar), the ring-tailed
lemur, Verreaux’s Sifaka and the brown lemur.
Day 11 - 13, Ifaty via Tulear
Enjoy some relaxing time at the coastal paradise of Ifaty, with
its stunning beaches and scuba and snorkel dive sites, where there
