What you can reach from Antananarivo

Antananarivo is Madagascar's hill capital and the hub for every lemur circuit. From here the practical targets are Avenue of the Baobabs, Andasibe-Mantadia lemurs, Tsingy de Bemaraha (UNESCO), Nosy Be. Operators based in Antananarivo run these as day trips and multi-day circuits depending on distance.

What a trip costs, and why the number differs here

Expect US$25–720 per person depending on length, group size and whether park fees are bundled. On Cabana that figure is the operator's own price. Aggregators typically take 15–25% from the operator, and that margin is priced into the rate you are quoted elsewhere — the same guide, the same vehicle, a higher number.

Booking direct with the operator

Cabana has no Antananarivo tour operators listed yet. The model is direct booking with zero commission — an operator keeps 100% of what they charge — so if you run trips from Antananarivo, listing is free and takes a few minutes. The costs and seasons above are independent guidance either way.

When to go

Apr–Nov dry season; Jul–Sep for whales. Wildlife density, road condition and price all move with that window, so it is worth building the trip around it where you can.
