Depending on what you’d like to experience, Jenman African Safaris can also tailor-make a beach travel package of your choice. Here is our list of 9 beach trips to enjoy in Madagascar:
8-Day Lemur and Beach Package
If you’ve seen a certain popular children’s film, then you’re probably well aware of the existence of many different species of lemurs on the island of Madagascar! And because we at JENMAN African Safaris realise that these distinct and unique little creatures are a popular highlight for travellers to the island, we’ve designed an 8-Day Madagascar Lemur and Beach Package.
Between excursions to spot the island’s local lemur species and basking on the beach, you will be spoiled for choice as you make the most of your accommodation and the activities that it has to offer. Four nights of the 8-Day Beach Package will be spent at the Vanilla Hotel – a perfectly situated accommodation on the island of Nosy Be. While there, you can spend your days exploring secluded islands nearby, famous beaches, and the surrounding azure waters that harbour an incredibly diverse array of ocean wildlife.
The second accommodation that you will stay in while on the Lemur and Beach Package is the Vakona Forest Lodge, which is situated in Madagascar’s Andasibe National Park. The park is renowned the world over for being home to the island’s biggest lemurs and during the day you’ll be able to go in search of these awe-inspiring creatures. The final night of your Lemur and Beach Package will be spent in the capital city of Madagascar, called Antananarivo. Offering a different pace from what you’ve previously encountered, you’ll be immersed in the buzz of the city atmosphere and get a final delectable taste of the spice of life on the island of Madagascar.
Madagascar St. Marie Beach Package
If you’re a fan of Robinson Crusoe and the concept of losing track of time while living on an idyllic island, then the Madagascar St. Marie Beach Package is just the travel package you’re looking for. Not only will you be able to spend your time relaxing on the tropical beaches of this African island, but you’ll also be able to really immerse yourself into its island atmosphere.
Ile Saint Marie offers the ideal destination for travellers who really want to relax, without the hustle and bustle of mainstream tourist destinations. It’s a small island near the main island of Madagascar and, despite its size, offers amazing beaches and a full range of activities to fill up the hours in a day.
From scuba diving to snorkelling, reading a good book on your favourite beach to trying your hand at a spot of deep sea fishing, you’ll be able to really feel as if you’re living the life of Robinson Crusoe – albeit with a little more luxury and a lot more fun!
Madagascar Nosy Be Beach Package
Nosy Be is a popular destination for visitors to the island of Madagascar. A smaller island just off the main island’s coast, Nosy Be features stunning stretches of unspoiled beaches, as well as warm and clear waters in which you can swim, snorkel and scuba dive.
Because of the popularity of the island of Nosy Be, we put together the Madagascar Nosy Be Beach Package that offers five days full of everything you’d want and need from an island holiday. With the first three nights on Nosy Be spent in the Vanilla Hotel, you’ll have the perfect point from which to branch out and explore the island. Summit the peak of Mont Passot and enjoy beautiful views that seem to stretch endlessly into the distance, visit a Ylang Ylang distillery and find out for yourself why a nickname for Nosy Be is Nosy Manitra, or “The Scented Island”.
After four days of excursions to smaller islands, lemur spotting and visits to the bustling local market, you’ll be transferred to the capital of Madagascar, the city of Antananarivo. This bustling city will add the perfect finishing touch to your Beach Package holiday by giving you a taste of buzzing city life on the island of Madagascar before you finally head home on the fifth and final day.
