Kayaking in Madagascar
The waters around the Masoala Peninsula are ideal for kayaking and the spot is becoming more established. Some of the smaller archipelagos near Nosy Be would also be good for kayaking.
River trips along Manambolo (3 - 5 days) and Tsiribihinia River (3 - 4 days) are all the rage from May to November. Tsiribihinia is easier and can be done independently from the town Miandrivaso. Manambolo, the most spectacular of the two, requires planning.
A popular way in which people reach the Tsingy de Bemaraha is by taking the river trip from Miandrivaso westwards to Belo Sur Tsiribihinia.
While in the Bemaraha area, those who enjoy canoe adventure excursions can take the opportunity to tackle a section of the Manambolo River, which passes through some spectacular gorges and overhangs on which there is peculiar vegetation, much birdlife, bat colonies and the possibility of seeing Sakalava burial sites. Miandrivaso, one of Madagascar's hottest places, is the starting point for an alternative river trip to the west coast, ending at the small and remote town of Belo Sur Tsiribihinia.
Enough food must be taken along from Miandrivaso. The river winds its way past some spectacular scenery, including deciduous forest in which one can see a wide variety of animals and plants such as lemurs, birds and reptiles, and endemic flora.
