Madagascar: Safari Motorcycle Tour

Your Madagascar motorcycle safari begins with arrival at Ivato Airport, where your guide meets you and accompanies you to the hotel in Antananarivo. After a long flight you can relax at the comfortable 4-star Hotel La Ribaudière and prepare for the days ahead.

The second day of your Madagascar motorcycle tour is for settling in: you visit the former royal palace Rova high above the city and then meet your rental motorcycle for the first time. In the evening you return to the 4-star Hotel La Ribaudière in Antananarivo.

On this stage of your safari Madagascar motorcycle tour you cover around 390 kilometres and about 10 hours from Antananarivo via Antsirabe to Miandrivazo. In Antsirabe you discover the culture of the Vakinankaratra people before continuing to Hotel Princesse Tsiribihina.

As a guided Madagascar motorcycle tour, today's stage follows the 88-kilometre National Road 35 from Miandrivazo to Morondava. Along the way you pass through small villages of the dry zone before arriving at Chez Maggie Hotel.

After the first stages of your Antananarivo to Morondava motorcycle tour, today is a free day: from the beach to a city tour with traditional Sakalava de Menabe dances, Morondava and its famous Baobab Avenue offer plenty to explore at a relaxed pace.

This Madagascar offroad tour takes you 80 kilometres to Belo sur Mer on the Mozambique Channel. After a lunch break on the way, you explore the fishing village and its offshore coral reefs before returning to Morondava in the evening.

For experienced riders this marks the start of a real Madagascar motorcycle adventure: on the way to Belo sur Tsiribihina, about 95 kilometres and 4 hours away, you ride through the famous Baobab Avenue. Tonight is the first night sleeping in a tent.

On this Tsiribihina River motorcycle tour you swap the motorcycle for a boat and travel down Madagascar's longest river, past dry forest and a waterfall with a swimming spot. With a bit of luck, wild lemurs appear along the riverbank. Overnight in a tent again.

Back on your rental motorcycle in Madagascar, you head further into the national park of Belo sur Tsiribihina in the west of the island, where typical lemur species can be observed in the wild. Overnight at the comfortable 4-star Tsingy Lodge hotel.

As a combo on-/offroad Madagascar route, today's stage to Bekopaka is particularly varied: red tracks lead through safari terrain to Adventure Village. Overnight at the 4-star Hotel du Menabe Tsiribihina.

The highlight of this Morondava coast motorcycle tour is the traverse of the limestone landscape of Tsingy Bemaraha, where around 86 per cent of the over 650 plant species are endemic. Overnight at Hotel Le Soleil of Tsingy Lodge, a 4-star property.

After the days in the national park, this Madagascar offroad tour covers around 230 kilometres back to Morondava, where you can discover more sides of the coastal city. Overnight at Hotel Chez Maggie.

To close this Madagascar motorcycle adventure, the morning is free for one last relaxed moment at the beach before the transfer to Morondava Airport and the return flight via Antananarivo bring your journey through Madagascar to an end.
