Yes, we can set up an overnight aerial adventure for you with one of our planes, like our Cessna 206. It's a fantastic way to see the country from above, which is not possible through large aircrafts which are way too high up! At the moment there are no helicopters available in the country.
We usually take off from the capital around 6.30 am after which you'll have a beautiful flight over the highlands and countless rice fields in numerous shades of green dotted with colorful houses followed by mighty river valleys of the Tsiribihina and Mahajilo Rivers after Miandrivazo from where soon the first baobabs will start to pop up in the landscape.
On arrival you'll be picked up by our guide and you'll have a visit to the iconic Baobab Avenue with its majestic giants. If you're flying back to the capital the same day, we'll have lunch near the beach first. If you'll be staying overnight we can visit Kirindy Reserve where you'll be looking for lemurs and other wildlife such as the fossa. We usually opt for Kily House Boutique Hotel, but can also upgrade to Palissandre Resort.
From May to October we can also add the Tsingy de Bemaraha with its unique limestone formations, a phenomenon which is only known to exist in Madagascar. You'll have the chance to take pictures from above from the comfort of your plane seat as well as exploring the stone labyrinth on foot.
All of our tours are 100 pct private, so there are no shared planes. We can set this up for just 4,740 euro total.

“Hi Jasmine,We had a wonderful time, though we are still recovering from all that flight time. Your arrangements were impeccable and Tahina was an excellent guide/driver. The only thing we didn’t get to do was dinner at Sakamananga; we got back from our excursion to Andisibe and Vakona too late. We especially enjoyed our time with the lemurs at Vakona, our trek through the rainforest, the cooking class, visiting the market, and learning about vanilla.I’m sending you photos in a separate email. Thank you so much for all of your assistance. ”
