Madagascar

As Earth’s number one biodiversity hotspot, Madagascar is home to 200,000 species of plant and animal life, of which 90 per cent are only found here, including lemurs, chameleons and butterflies. This unrivalled destination for wildlife and nature enthusiasts also offers palmfringed beaches, waterfall-covered mountains and many welcoming, traditional villages.

Extraordinary Ways to Experience Madagascar

Encounter Leaping Lemurs

Accompanied by an expert naturalist guide, hike amidst rare orchids and waterfalls in the Mantadia National Park on the lookout for the wailing indri, the world’s largest lemur, the dancing sifaka and more of the island’s unique and endangered primates. Learn to identify each one by their distinctive markings.

Discover Antandroy Tribal Ancestral Customs

Be welcomed into a local Antandroy village in the south of Madagascar for an encounter with members of the fascinating Antandroy tribe. Learn about their sacred tombs in the spiny forest, age-old burial customs and medicinal plant uses

Watch a Chameleon Change Colours

Madagascar is home to approximately half the world’s 150 or so species of chameleons. These extraordinary reptiles are famous for their bulging eyes that move independently of one another, and ability to dramatically change colours — usually to convey emotion, defend territory, and communicate with mates.
