This week-long itinerary takes you along the West Coast of Madagascar between the coastal town of Morondava and the Tsingy of Bemaraha. Along the canal of Mozambique flow powerful rivers, the Tsiribihina, the Manambolo, coming from the Highlands. They dug wide grooves that cut through huge limestone plateaus, the Tsingys. In this beautiful and wide peneplain, the baobab is king, he punctuates the landscape with his slender and massive presence and the path of the Baobabs is an excellent representation of it. Our chaotic trail sneaks in the middle of this tree-covered Savannah, the red ribbon of laterite is simply cut by the two ferries to cross the rivers
