Expedition crafts and royal history in the Kingdom of Rova
7 hours
Free Cancellation
from
$155
Madagascar is exceptionally unique, unlike any other place on Earth. It boasts an unforgettable landscape, warm people, lush green scenery, and majestic views that one can only dream about. Due to the island's prolonged isolation from neighboring continents, Madagascar is home to diverse plants and animals found nowhere else on our planet. Conservation International has designated lemurs as 'Madagascar's flagship mammal species.' In the absence of monkeys and other competitors, these primates have adapted to a wide range of habitats, resulting in the evolution of numerous species. Madagascar's captivating history spans from the time of the Kingdom of Imerina to periods of British and French occupation, leaving an indelible mark on the island. The influence of French architecture is embedded in Madagascar's way of life. Exploring Madagascar is a journey you'll undoubtedly cherish.

Today we offer you a day trip to two palaces. The Ambohimanga Rova is a half day-trip out of Antananarivo. It was the home of the first Malagasy king to unite the nation, King Andrianampoinimerina. It’s a fascinating story of murders and conquering and intrigue, the local guides are skilled at telling the story in many languages, and the scenery is very special. The palace was used as a holiday home by subsequent members of the royal family until the last queen was exiled by the French colonial power and some interesting artefacts remain. Return back to Tana for lunch at the Cafe du Musee, and after lunch visit to Palace number 2, the Rova Manjakamiadana… This palace was home to the royal family until exile. It was burned in a politically motivated arson attack in 1995 and is under renovation, nevertheless it is a fascinating story, in an amazing position, with incredible views around the city and rice fields as far as the eye can see.

In the morning, you can choose between Croc Farm Park, near the airport, to discover crocodiles and local wildlife, or Tsimbazaza Zoological Park, showcase of Malagasy biodiversity in the heart of the capital. In the afternoon, head to the heritage and culture with a visit to the Queen’s Palace, a symbol of royal history, followed or preceded by the Museum of Photography, which unveils the country’s visual memory. Finally, to make this experience unique, I take you off the classic paths: the sunset in the upper town, with the local community, and optionally, the tasting of koba and / or street barbecue accompanied by Malagasy beer, true national pride. This mix of discoveries, encounters and flavors makes this tour much more than a visit — an authentic immersion in the soul of Antananarivo.
