The Red Tsingy
Immerse yourself in one of Madagascar’s most extraordinary landscapes with Bakadi Dreams and discover the Red Tsingy – a truly unique geological wonder in the north of the island. These spectacular formations of red rock rise from the earth like a natural sculpture park, unlike anything else on the planet.
A Landscape Like No Other
After pick-up at the port in Antsiranana, you set off with your friendly English-speaking guide into the wild countryside of northern Madagascar. The Red Tsingy were formed over thousands of years by the erosion of the region’s iron- and aluminium-rich soil, creating an otherworldly landscape of pinnacles, towers and canyons in glowing shades of red, ochre and pink.
A Photographer’s Dream
As you explore this remarkable site, your guide explains how the constant interplay of rain, wind and sun continues to shape the formations, so that the landscape is forever changing. The vivid colours, dramatic shapes and complete silence make the Red Tsingy one of the most memorable and photogenic natural wonders in all of Madagascar.
This private Bakadi Dreams excursion runs at a comfortable pace, with a guaranteed return to your cruise ship in good time.
