Let's start with the capital Antananarivo, commonly known as TANA: the city of a thousand warriors. Very feminine, it sits perched at an altitude of 1400 meters, with cool winters and hot summers. The ruffled tiers of its dress represent the rice fields in its plain, lush green from late October to March and golden in March-April. Its arms are the few tall buildings that dot the skyline.
Getting to know Tana in just two days is not enough, but it is still interesting due to its rich culture. Our first recommendation is a visit to the Royal Palace, the botanical and zoological park, and the old town, culminating with a sunset at an altitude of 1,500 meters.
For souvenir shopping, the craft market at La Digue offers a wide range of locally made items using local materials. It's the perfect place to find unique mementos crafted by local artisans.
Visit of the residences of the Kings which are located in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar! Then, the zoological and botanical parks, where you can find rare species that can only be found in Madagascar ... Then we end the day with a beautiful view and a sunset at 1500m altitude. We continue our adventure at the artisanal market of the dike for the purchase of souvenirs which are objects made by local craftsmen and from local products.
We continue our visit on the 3rd day if you wish, about a hundred kilometers south of Tanà! Antsirabe is one of the cities where there are volcanic lakes in Madagascar ... We will visit these lakes then the cutting of semi precious stones.
We continue our trip to Ampefy, for the Chute de la Lily, the lakes and the islets
Ampefy is specified by volcanic lakes, ponds and numerous marshes which are mostly crater lakes. These lakes are ideal places for lovers of fishing, hunting and water sports such as pirogue rides. A short walk is necessary to reach the Lilly waterfall, it pours its waters 23m high and 7m wide, you can take a swim for a few minutes.
The same day we were in Ampefy, we took the road to Analavory to visit the "Geiger", a place which is located about twenty kilometers from Ampefy. It offers a spectacle of many springs gushing a few meters high. It is a formation of sulfur and silica which gives rise to concretions of rounded shape with ocher and red colors. The Geiger is a spring bursting into a shower of hot water and steam caused by the water's contact with volcanic rocks. The land in Ampefy is very fertile and produces fruits and vegetables all year round, the lakes are full of fish. This village supplies the capital with its agricultural products
