Truly like no other place on earth, Madagascar’s uniqueness will enchant and leave you in wonder. If you’re planning on visiting this beautiful island, embrace yourself for an experience beyond anything you could have imagined. With a vibrant landscape and wildlife unlike you’re ever seen before, you can expect a holiday of a life time.

Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world and is bigger than France. It is in the Indian Ocean and despite being part of the African continent it has very little in common with its fellow African countries. Geologically separated from the rest of the continent for over 165 billion years, Madagascar has evolved to become a country and island distinct in its own rights, with fauna and flora unlike that of any other African countries.

Madagascar is home to some of the world’s strangest creatures, such as lemurs and the carnivorous fossas. Over 75% of the islands 1200 plant and vast animal population is endemic to Madagascar, including the 77 different types of lemurs, fossa’s, 3 bird families and 3 of 6 baobab species. With truly weird looking animals and strange plants, a trip to Madagascar will show you a side of our planet you didn’t dream existed. Deciduous forests, savannah like-plains, central highlands, lakes and canals, and rain forests make Madagascar remarkably beautiful and a popular tourist destination.

The Malagasy people and their culture is no less interesting that their land. Despite past shaky economic and political situations, locals showcase their country and their friendly nature. Arriving over 2000 years ago from along the Indian Ocean Trade Routes, they now have a language and religion unique to themselves. A culture steeped in taboo and magic will entice and fascinate both locals and visitors.

Madagascar has a hot tropical climate perfect for thriving rain forests. Heavy rain-fall, with the occasional risk of cyclones, in January to March can cause travelling to be difficult. If you are making travel plans for Madagascar you may want to consider making them for the cooler dry season between May and October.
