Arrival In Madagascar | Transfer To Hotel In Antananarivo

On arrival in Madagascar, you will be welcomed and picked up by our Kubwa Five Safaris guide who will be holding an A4 paper with your name printed on it at Ivato International Airport and transferred to your hotel in Antananarivo.

Welcome to Madagascar's colorful capital city. Situated in the heart of the central highlands, Antananarivo – often abbreviated to Tana – first served as the capital of the homegrown Imerina Kingdom more than 400 years ago, and it has remained the island's most important urban center ever since. Antananarivo makes for a charming introduction to Madagascar, thanks to its attractively hilly location, wealth of historic buildings, comfortable climate, cosmopolitan culture and delicious French-influenced cuisine.

You’ll land in the vibrant capital and be greeted by your guide. Depending on your arrival time, you can enjoy a first taste of Malagasy culture or relax in your hotel before the adventure begins.

After the visit, settle into your lodge for the night, surrounded by the soothing sounds of the forest.

This is one of the most rewarding destinations for viewing a good variety of lemurs in the wild. For first-time visitors, Andasibe-Mantadia is a great place to get to grips with the island's more widespread forest birds, while serious bird-watchers come here in the hope of spotting four species of colorful ground-roller.
