Almost hauntingly strange island, Madagascar is a living laboratory of evolution. Madagascar is a new destination far from mass tourism. The fauna and flora reached a record level of endemism of 80%, the lemurs are unique in the world, impassive chameleons, rare birds, frogs colorful, migrating humpback whales … All this makes it a dream destination for naturalists.
The landscapes are also appointments, the rice terraces in the highlands, the majestic Baobab and the Tsingy in the west, the thorny bush and savanna in the south, the rainforest in the east and finally the beaches and magnificent paradise islands in the north.
Rich in cultural beliefs unique blend Asian and African practices, it has kept its authenticity. The population itself is one of the most welcoming and warm.
The best time to discover the Big Island stretches from April to November during the austral winter. From December to March, it’s the rainy season so certain sites are inaccessible. But this period is also the perfect time to observe reptiles.
