River Trip & Makay Trek

We enter the massif with a solid team of local guides and porters who will be our travelling companions for these few days. You only carry your small backpack with your belongings for the day, without forgetting your water supply, your camera and your walking stick. Our porters set up camp, our cook takes care of the meals. The logistics are of high quality. Let’s start the trek! We guide you inside these huge straight faults where sun rays rarely get through and amazing plants grow along the walls. We’ve discovered several traces of big crocodiles there. Sakapaly River runs right through these mountains, we navigate inside the canyons and put up our camp on the white sandbanks. Our hike takes us through the inside sections of the forest where lemurs can be observed easily. This trek is kept at a sustainable pace, there are no particular difficulties apart from the heat, the walk in the soft sand and in the water reaching up to knee-level. Trekking downhill can get quite steep and we may need to use ropes when going inside the canyons. Watch out for itchy plants, rolling pebbles under one’s shoes, numerous saka[1]saka and deep cliffs. This trek is not suitable for those experiencing vertigo. Along the way, we will pass rocks piles safely and nimbly. Apart from being isolated, we are indeed far from everything here, so these five trekking days will definitely be a lifetime experience. In addition, several evening campfires with guides and porters will also give you unforgettable moments. Nights are enjoyed in tents or under the stars of the southern sky.
