DAY 3: Morondava - Belo Sur Tsiribihina - Bekopaka
Today we will drive to Belo by 4x4. Belo Sur Tsiribihina is a quiet town lost in the marshes, mangroves and barrier islands of the Tsiribihina delta.

DAY 4: Bekopaka
Today we visit the tsingy in the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park – with 152,000 hectares one of the largest protected areas in Madagascar. The highlight is a vast forest of rugged and eroded karst pinnacles ('tsingy' means 'needles' in Malagasy). Some of these pinnacles, formed over centuries by the movement of wind and water, tower several hundred metres into the air. In the area you can also see waterfalls, various species of lemurs, birds and reptiles as well as many endemic plants. [B]
 

DAY 5-6: Bekopaka - Belo - Morondava
Return to Belo then continue to Morondava. Stop to admire the beauty of the famous Baobab Avenue on sunset.
