Perched on a series of rolling hills and surrounded by rice paddies, Antananarivo (fondly called “Tana” by locals) is more than just the capital of Madagascar — it’s the heartbeat of the island nation. With its vibrant markets, royal palaces, French colonial architecture, and lively street scenes, Antananarivo offers travelers a chance to step into a city that feels both historic and refreshingly authentic.
At Iris Global Vacations and Events, we help travelers and corporate groups experience Tana in a way that captures its energy, culture, and charm.
