In the morning, you can choose between Croc Farm Park, near the airport, to discover crocodiles and local wildlife, or Tsimbazaza Zoological Park, showcase of Malagasy biodiversity in the heart of the capital.
In the afternoon, head to the heritage and culture with a visit to the Queen’s Palace, a symbol of royal history, followed or preceded by the Museum of Photography, which unveils the country’s visual memory.
Finally, to make this experience unique, I take you off the classic paths: the sunset in the upper town, with the local community, and optionally, the tasting of koba and / or street barbecue accompanied by Malagasy beer, true national pride. This mix of discoveries, encounters and flavors makes this tour much more than a visit — an authentic immersion in the soul of Antananarivo.

The highlight of this experience is the sunset in Andohalo, renowned for being the most beautiful in the capital. From the heights of the city, you will share this unique moment alongside the local community, with a panoramic view that embraces Antananarivo and its hills bathed in golden light. The atmosphere is both warm and authentic, offering an immersion in the daily life of the inhabitants and an unforgettable moment of serenity.
