Sailing down the Tsiribihina River
Being crossed by about ten rivers, Madagascar gives the tourists the opportunity to enjoy a unique experience while sailing down the Tsiribihina River on a traditional dugout canoe, a barge or a boat. The west touring departs from Antananarivo, the capital of this country, and continues southwards to Antsirabe where the visitors will appreciate its typical landscapes punctuated with terraced ricefields. In Miandrivazo, they will take a barge and start their adventure through the river. During the crossing of the river, they will discover breathtaking landscapes and meet the Nile crocodiles which take up residence there. After the trip on the barge, they will get to Belo Tsiribihina and will manage to continue their journey to the famous Tsingy, another natural tourist site they’d better not miss in this part of Madagascar.
