Journey across the tropical island of Madagascar and explore the unique and incredible wildlife it has to offer - from its famed lemurs and chameleons to the nocturnal aye-aye. As the oldest island on earth, life has had time to evolve, and there are now more unique plants and animals on Madagascar than any other island. Largely off the beaten track, this is a deeply rewarding destination that boasts an astonishing range of bio-diverstiy found almost nowhere else on earth. All wildlife-viewing (with the exception of whale-watching) is on foot with a professional guide, following trails through the country’s parks and reserves.

The dramatic limestone pinnacles of Grand Tsingy shelter small pockets of forest and a series of even higher peaks forms a mountainous spine running down the middle of Madagascar where more than a million tonnes of rice is grown every year. 

Madagascar’s mountain range defines the islands’ climate. It blocks warm, wet air blown in off the Indian Ocean to the east, creating the arid deserts of the west. High rainfall in the east creates bountiful rainforests where most of the island’s incredible wildlife can be found. Unique species include the tenrec, Madagascar’s own unique version of a hedgehog, the aye-aye, one of Madagascar’s weirdest creatures and the ring-tailed and greater bamboo lemur along with over 300 species of bird.



To complete the picture, you’ll discover beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters teeming with marine life. With so much to offer, Madagascar is sure to capture your heart!
