Madagascar Adventure

A complete exploration of the enigmatic island 'continent' of Madagascar

Isolated from Africa millions of years ago, the world's fourth largest island of Madagascar has evolved an incredibly rich ecology and landscape that is as bizarre as it is unique. Home to one of the richest ecosystems on earth, you will be in awe of its quirky lemurs and endemic varieties of Baobab and Octopus trees. Madagascar is "home" to nearly one-quarter of all the flowering plants in Africa. It also boasts 90% of the known species of lemur and half the world's population of chameleons. Marvel at the diverse landscapes & from lush tropical rainforest to the semi arid and to the jagged limestone pinnacles. However, it is the people who are unlike anywhere else, descendants of seafarers from the Indian Ocean, they are proudly distinct from the peoples of continental Africa and are unfailingly polite and hospitable. We explore the spectacular collection of the island's national parks on this itinerary including the UNESCO World Heritage site of Tsingy de Bemaraha.
