A trip to Madagascar is high on the list for many wildlife enthusiasts, with over 80% of the flora and fauna found there being endemic to the island. Described as a kaleidoscope of nature, there is plenty of amazing species to go in search of. With aye-ayes, lemurs and whales, we believe Masoala National Park has it all! Here we tell you why we love this protected park in the far north of the country.
Madagascar is fast-becoming the place to go for Africa old-hands looking for something new and for those wanting an assault of their senses. Regarded as the Eighth Continent because of its diversity of flora and fauna and unique melting pot of cultures, here we give the rundown on our top 10 species from this kaleidoscope of nature.
Home to unrivalled wildlife viewing and one of the world’s most impressive coastlines, there is no better place to combine a beach and safari trip than in Africa.
Gaining world-renown and legions of fans thanks to King Julian in the film Madagascar, ring-tailed lemurs are one of the greatest draws to the Indian Ocean island. Here our Madagascar expert, Pierre gives us the low-down on where to go to be on the tail of these fascinatingly entertaining creatures.
No matter how much planning and preparation goes into your Madagascan adventure, things won’t always go to plan. Air Madagascar which operates the majority of internal flights often changes their schedule at the last minute, so it’s best to go expecting at least one delay or cancellation – make sure you don’t forget to pack your sense of humour!
Yes Madagascar is an island, but it’s the fourth largest island in the world (two and a half times the size of the UK) so it’s unlikely that you’re going to be able to visit absolutely everywhere in one go. Road networks are not fully developed and getting around can be arduous and time consuming. It’s often not possible to go directly from once place to another, so expect to spend a few overnights in Antananarivo getting from points A to B – it’s often best to focus on one or two regions rather than the whole country.
Whilst Madagascar has some luxurious options, particularly in the case of beach properties such as Constance Tsarabanjina, Manafiafy Beach and Rainforest Lodge and Anjajavy, on the whole most of the accommodation on offer is classified as budget to mid-range. Whilst we can try and secure you the best accommodation available, sometimes the focus will be on what you are seeing in terms of wildlife, with accommodation seen as somewhere to rest your head at the end of an exciting day of adventures.
All of our trips to Madagascar are entirely tailor-made with a private vehicle with driver/guide. Your driver will provide information for you about the areas that you are passing through and you will have local guides in each park and reserve, with the exception of the north where you will have the same guide throughout. Madagascar is certainly an excitingly adventurous destination to discover, and with a well-planned itinerary you are in for a treat. Go with an open mind and a sense of humour and we can guarantee that you’ll come home wanting to plan your next trip!
