Maratona Ultra Madathon di 50 giorni attraverso il Madagascar (in bicicletta, in kayak e a piedi per tutta l'isola)
Grand Madathon Across Madagascar Complete (Tip to Toe) : Una panoramica di tutti i principali parchi e luoghi in bicicletta, a piedi e in kayak.
Questo viaggio include un team con un SUV di supporto, un medico, un addetto alla sicurezza, un quartierista per il campeggio e il kit, un telefono satellitare, una guida e un team di professionisti del turismo, della fauna selvatica, della botanica e della sicurezza, e persino l'allestimento del campo ("glamp", ma un po' rustico e pronto per la natura selvaggia...), le biciclette e i rinforzi (includiamo le moto da cross o le biciclette da ciclismo o potete portare le vostre)! Basta presentarsi e partire per il grande viaggio.
Avrete tutto incluso in questo tour, chiavi in mano. Il tour sarà flessibile per consentire cambiamenti di percorso, ma alla fine dovrà essere completato. Si prega di prevedere 2 mesi di tempo per attraversare il Madagascar, ma cercheremo di rispettare l'itinerario. Avrete a disposizione un telefono satellitare, un supporto SAR e di evacuazione, professionisti medici e della sicurezza, alternative di percorso per attraversare e percorrere la strada, pacchetti di elettroliti e snack proteici,tutto il cibo e la cucina inclusi (e i pasti negli hotel dichiarati quando ci sono), così come nel nucleo del campo tende e stuoie e alloggi, guide con conoscenza della natura selvaggia del Madagascar, della fauna (sì, molti lemuri) e delle piante endemiche (prodotti botanici, non droghe).) - ovviamente anglofone.
Includiamo le biciclette o potete portare le vostre, e possiamo metterci in contatto con zone speciali o punti di interesse per creare un viaggio a tema. Questo viaggio include i permessi per filmare, fotografare e usare un drone.
Traiettoria di lavoro
(questa è sicuramente e definitivamente soggetta a cambiamenti e improvvisazioni)
------------------------------
Nosy Be > isole circostanti Nosy > immersioni Mitsio > punta > Ambilobe > Vohemar > Antalaha > baia Masoala > Mananara > riserva di Marotandrano Possibilità di dirigersi a sud a seconda di Dahalo e della sicurezza stradale tra qui e Andasibe / Continuare a nord attraverso la riserva di Ankarafansika > Tana dal passaggio a nord > Tulear > punta > concludere con Dauphin e alcuni lemuri saltatori a Berenty.
------------------------------Notes
: Questo viaggio richiede forma fisica e mentale, flessibilità, pazienza, senso dell'umorismo e amore per l'esplorazione e l'avventura improvvisata. Il francese è un plus ma non è necessario. Garantiamo di farvi attraversare il Madagascar in punta di piedi. Se decidete di tornare indietro e partire, non ci sono rimborsi, ma vi porteremo in fondo all'isola, garantito. Includiamo tutto.Mappa interattiva dell'itinerario

| Washing: Keen to be able to wash off the grime of a day, what facilities will there be? CAMP SHOWER, RIVER, OR VILLAGE |
| Cooking: We have no allergies, what will the menu look like? MADAGASCAR HAS TERRIFIC FOOD, WE’LL MAX OUT LOCAL |
| Hotels etc: Which ones will we be staying at, and what if any choices do we need to make? BEST AVAILABLE (SOME WE KNOW, AND SOME DEPENDS ON WHERE WE STOP, AND OTHER PLACES WE CAMP.) |
| TEAM |
| As of April 15th, the team roster was: 2 x drivers, 2 x armed security, 1 doctor, 1 guide, 1 cook, 1 masseuse + me, dad and you (when you’re not Looning). We’ve also loosely discussed someone picking up along the way a bike mechanic, and possibly someone local with an interest in flora / fauna / culture / photography not to mention the diving / hiking / kayaking support teams; we’re assuming that some people may perform more than one role, any more detail or thinking you had on the team would be great to know 🙂 – CORRECT ON THE CREW ROSTER – WE SHALL PICK UP LOCAL ENTHUSIASTS, BIKERS, PARK GUIDES, LOCAL LEADERS, LOCAL TOUR TEAMS, BOTANISTS, SPECIALISTS PER INTEREST AS WE GO AS WELL, SOME PREARRANGED. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR SERENDIPITY HOWEVER OUR MAIN CREW WILL STAY THE SAME, ROTATING ONLY AROUND MASOALA TO MAROTANDRANO. |
