Ifaty

Ifaty — southwest Madagascar coast for lagoon time, spiny forest, and post-Isalo beach recovery.

Ifaty (near Tuléar) is a coastal unwind after southern Madagascar road travel: lagoon colours, dugout outings, and nearby spiny forest for unique flora and birding. It is more beach-and-reef energy than highland lemur parks.

We use Ifaty as a soft ending to RN7-style circuits or as a west-coast contrast after Isalo.
