Tsiribihina River Madagascar www.remoterivers.com

Madagascar is a truly wonderful country with unique wildlife, bizarre plants, superb climate, and the nicest people you will find anywhere. Even the cities and towns are fascinating, thanks to some inspired architecture and the Malagasy love for flowers, music, and warm colors. Romantic and relaxed, it's a great place to have a real anti-stress vacation.

"May I announce to you that Madagascar is the naturalist' promise land? Nature seems to have retreated there into a private sanctuary, where she could work on different models from any she has used elsewhere. There you meet bizarre and marvelous forms at every step." - Philippe De Commerson, 1771

Although greatly changed by man since 1771, Madagascar remains a truly wonderful country with unique wildlife, bizarre plants, superb climate, and the nicest people you will find anywhere.
