East Coast Adventure - Rafting & Trekking in Madagascar

This is a unique Pioneer expedition and explores the little visited regions in the East of Madagascar.  This trip combines the best that Madagascar has to offer, trekking and camping in remote rainforest, rafting an undocumented river and a surfing break on the stunning East Coast.  During this adventurous tour we will get the opportunity to see many of the favourite Madagascan animals, reptiles and birds.

Expedition members do not need previous rafting experience as full training is given.

SPECIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Trekking and camping in remote rainforest
   

• Rafting descent of a little explored river
  

• Observing at close hand, from boats and on foot, the unique endemic flora and fauna
  

• Beach break on the Indian Ocean for surfing

We start our trek at the Perinet Nature Reserve and will trek approximately 50km through remote rainforest, camping overnight in clearings, before reaching the little rafted Sahatandra river where we spend the next few days riding the rapids.

Each day on the trek and on the river, the scenery will be spectacular and present new wonders.  We shall encounter truly fantastic landscapes, exotic flora and see much of the endemic wildlife including lemurs, reptiles and birds.

As this is a full-on camping expedition we plan to spend our last few days relaxing by the beach at a small, little known coastal town.  For the adventurous among us, we will be able to take advantage of the surf school here as this is a remarkable place to surf.

This expedition is a great combination for the adventurous and the wildlife enthusiast.

Our local guide is very active with local NGO Wood En Stock (which is actively replanting trees in Madagascar).  For every client booked on this trip, we will finance one tree per day per client with Wood En Stock
