Accommodation

6 nights hotel
In selecting hotels our foremost criteria are cleanliness and comfort, but outside of the capital the accommodation is very rustic. Hotel accommodation is twinshare, unless a single supplement has been paid in advance. Most properties have ensuite bathrooms. Accommodation is based on 2 star hotels (3 star upgrade for Antananarivo and Andasibe on request).

What You Carry

In your daypack you will need to carry extra warm clothing (depending on the location and weather), a rainjacket, water bottle, camera gear, valuables and personal items such as sunscreen, lip balm, etc.

Grading

These adventure tours sometimes may visit remote areas where facilities are often basic. Many of these trips involve some camping or basic lodging at times and will often involve long journeys on rough roads. To enjoy these adventures we suggest reasonable fitness and health, a moderately active lifestyle and a positive attitude. Although there is no commitment to extended walking on this journey we nonetheless want to keep the ‘accent on the active’. We therefore advise that any physical training you complete before undertaking the trip will be to good effect. We recommend walking on undulating terrain for an hour or more, two or three times a week for at least 3 months prior to departure. The fitter you are the more this will enhance your experience.
