You will go to Ankafobe immediately following breakfast. Ankafobe, a community in the Analamanga district, is 132 kilometers from the capital. A trip to the Ambohimanarina workshop where clay coal stoves are made. The people of this village have made stovemaking a central part of their identity. Production of this item contributes to their way of life alongside farming and animal husbandry. The tour will take you behind the scenes of stove production. A hike through the woods awaits visitors once they arrive. The walk will take you to the project's nursery. The brown lemurs will then be introduced for the first time.

After a hearty breakfast, you'll begin your journey to Antsirabe via the highlands and their famed rice terraces. After three hours on the road, you'll have reached Antsirabe, the commercial, agricultural, and industrial hub of the region's lovely villages. In the past, the town was frequented by the wealthy due to its pleasant mountain temperature and hot springs. The villas, gardens, and the historic colonial hotel that remain today are all reminders of this. You won't find as many "pousse-pousse" (bicycle rickshaws) crowding the streets anywhere else in Madagascar. A trip around the city is strongly suggested. The gems of Madagascar will be shown to you. Miniature making classes and an art exhibit are both on the schedule.
Accommodation: Arotel

Our final stop before calling it a day is the historic district of Fianarantsoa, whose name means "where one learns the good" in the local language. It is the largest city on the island of Madagascar and the cultural center of the Betsileo people. You can learn a lot about a place by touring its holy sites and then taking a stroll through the old and upper city. In addition to its religious and cultural significance, the vineyards of Fianarantsoa are well-known across the world.

Great adventures await you in Ranohira as you go south today. A magnificent transition from terraced hills to dry region of the south with the massive granite formation named "gate of the south" may be seen on the road to Ihosy. Cattle herds led by their shepherds will shape the route into the Baras' homeland. The Baras are among the most distinctive peoples of Madagascar. Grassy steppes are broken up by towering cliffs, swift-moving rivers, and sleepy towns shaded by mango trees. Over the treeless plateau of Ihorombe, past the sacred Bishop's hat, you'll find the settlement of Ranohira in the Isalo Mountains. The sun will set behind the "Window of Isalo" as the day winds down.
Accommodation: Le Relais De La Reine

The Isalo National Park in Ranohira is a major tourist attraction. Today is a great day to take a day excursion to see the sandstone structures.
