There’s no place on Earth quite like Madagascar. It’s the fourth largest island in the world, and best known for its incredible array of endemic wildlife. Since the island was cast adrift from the African mainland 165 million years ago, many unique species have evolved independently of their ancestors - among them the lemur.

Ringed by golden beaches, blessed with a stunning range of habitats, and rich with the culture of the ancient Malagasy people, Madagascar makes for an enthralling destination.

When it comes to biodiversity, the island is one of a kind, with a glut of national parks providing visitors with a cross-section of the island’s many ecosystems.
