Madagascar,
the rainbow island
Due to a late cancellation, an opportunity exists to join this escorted tour to Madagascar & Mauritius - with optional 7 day Reunion extension.
Madagascar...
the exotic “island continent”, in the heart of the Indian
Ocean, is a real change of scene. It has one of the most fascinating
assemblages of unique organisms on the planet. Over 1580 km long and
570 km wide, Madagascar is the world’s fourth largest island: some
consider it the “Eighth Continent.” We are thrilled to extend
this invitation to explore one of the least-known, yet most remarkable
bastions of nature remaining on earth.
Best known for its lemurs (the most ancient relatives of monkeys, apes and humans), Madagascar’s fauna also includes colourful and bizarre looking chameleons, reptiles, giant butterflies and great numbers of birds. Vegetation includes majestic baobab trees, the amazing ‘spiny desert’, carnivorous pitcher plants and stunning orchids (including the Black Orchid) among the rare and endemic plants. Almost all of Madagascar’s reptile and amphibian species, half of its birds, and all of its remarkable 30 species of lemurs are endemic to the island - they can be found nowhere else on earth in their native state. In fact over 85% of all Malagasy living species are unique!

“What I like about ring tail lemurs is that they’ve got bags of attitude. They remind me of football fans on their way to a match all waving their scarves at one another!”
