RN7 Round Trip

Are you interested in combining national parks with the coast but like to avoid a domestic flight and paying extra for the one-way drop off fee? Then this Madagascar round trip is for you. You will explore various national parks, such as Ranomafana and Isalo, and enjoy a few days of relaxation on Madagascar's West Coast. Afterwards, you'll drive back toward the capital city, passing through Ambalavao and Andasibe. Similar to our Classic RN7 route, yet different stops and golden hour experiences.

The Grand Circuit

Do you love the beach? Are you an experienced off-road driver? Then you can see it all in Madagascar! The interior highlands of Madagascar are distinctively Asian, while the west coast is truly African. Visit remote Vezo fishing villages with colourful boats, enjoy pristine beaches, view the bizarre limestone pinnacles of Tsingy de Bemaraha, and explore the most beautiful lodges. All while meeting just a handful of other travellers. This is our most popular Madagascar self-drive tour. And for good reason!
