Overview

Why Madagascar

Madagascar is a world apart — around nine in ten of its species are found nowhere else on Earth. Lemurs, chameleons, baobabs and the razor-sharp limestone Tsingy make it a true bucket-list wilderness for the curious traveller.

From rainforest to the iconic Avenue of the Baobabs and the beaches of Nosy Be, it rewards those willing to venture off the beaten track.
