Madagascar

Isolated for 65 million years, Madagascar is the oldest island in the world, and with this isolation comes a unique natural history. The diverse habitats of rainforest, desert, mountains and mangroves are home to over 200,000 species, 80% of which only exist in Madagascar, amongst them the famous lemurs.

The Red Island

Madagascar - Antananarivo

The people in Madagascar boast a varied and diverse heritage, having come from Indonesia, Africa and Arabia over the past 2,000 years and the different cultural backgrounds can easily be observed to this day. This incredible diversity is what makes the Malagasy peoples’ beliefs and customs so wonderfully complicated and fascinating.

Travelling in Madagascar is an adventure, with so many places unexplored and off the beaten track. A journey to Madagascar is one of the most rewarding travel experiences, with the stunning and varied landscapes, extraordinary wildlife and the friendly welcoming people all making for an unforgettable adventure.

The best time to visit is generally during the drier winter months from April to October, but rainfall varies enormously in different areas.
