Madagascar Adventure

This trip involves trekking, walking and canoeing for up to 5 - 7 hours a day at a slow but steady pace and should never be misinterpreted to mean this trip is easy. Some stages will involve uneven and steep terrain. At Tsingy of Bemaraha, whilst no technical climbing experience is necessary, this is not suitable for those with vertigo or claustrophobia. During the river trip, subject to water levels, it may be necessary to drag your canoe across the braided channels of the river, although our staff are always on hand to offer assistance. You will need a reasonable level of fitness and good health. The first half of the trip involves 8 days in a remote region whilst trekking and canoeing. You must be comfortable about travelling in remote wilderness regions and be aware that wilderness camping is often basic and will involve some participation, ie putting up tents. The optional summit ascent of Pic Boby is a strenuous 28 km and 12 hour return undertaking and is usually done over two days due to the steep and challenging terrain. Whilst this is included in our itinerary as an optional one day ascent, it requires full commitment and is only suitable for very fit and experienced trekkers walking at a fast pace with limited rest stops. Specialist gear required include walking boots, day pack and sleeping bag (a comprehensive gear list is provided in the pre-departure information provided on booking). For the canoeing section, sandals or shoes that can get wet are recommended to protect your feet while getting in and out of the boats. Fingerless or paddling gloves are recommended for the canoeing section to protect from sunburn.,
