Whitewater Rafting
Rafting in Madagascar takes you deep into the island's interior. With no shortage of rivers offering varying levels of excitement, you can sit back and marvel at the strangely beautiful Baobab trees or hunker down and get paddling through some wild white-water rapids. The best time of year to run the rivers is April to November. You’ll find the busiest season is June to August and some of the rivers get overcrowded at this time – The shoulder seasons (between wet and dry seasons) are quieter. The Tsrirbihina River is great for beginners: this runs from the east coast into the island's central region. The Sahatandra River in the east runs fast due to the steep land formation and provides Grade II, III and IV rapids. Over in the west, there are a number of good rafting rivers: Betsiboka, Sambirano, Mahajamba, Mania, Mangoky Onilahy and the north and south Mahavavy.
