Lemurs & Baobabs of Madagascar
Eight Days Among Ancient Baobabs and the Island's Legendary Lemurs
Overview
Madagascar split from Africa 160 million years ago, and everything about it feels wonderfully apart. This eight-day journey delivers the island's two great icons in one seamless trip — the indri, the largest living lemur, calling through the rainforests of Andasibe, and the towering, otherworldly baobabs of Morondava glowing at golden hour.
Between these headline moments you meet chameleons and nocturnal mouse lemurs on guided night walks, wander cool montane forest, and end each day in characterful lodges chosen for comfort and setting. Curated end to end by Private Tours Cape Town, it is Madagascar's magic without the logistical headaches.
