Madagascar’s Natural World

Sir David Attenborough’s recent BBC series titled ‘Madagascar’ has created a heightened interest in the country and in our comprehensive tour. The world’s fourth largest island is home to no fewer than six different micro-climates and now is the time to travel to this hidden gem before mass tourism discovers its natural treasures. Exotic flora and fauna, numerous endemic species and dramatic landscapes have evolved to create the distinctive and enchanting natural environment of Madagascar. The Parc National d’Isalo has some of the country’s most beautiful scenery, alternating grassy plains and sandstone ridges, occupied by ringtailed
lemurs and white Sifaka. In contrast, the sparsely populated
Eastern Highlands are dotted with rice, tea and coffee plantations, waterfalls and lush forest.
