Safari OverviewUnique, extraordinary, special, exceptional, unparalleled, incomparable…
All these words describe the Indian Ocean island country of Madagascar, and the reason it sits at the top of many nature lovers’ bucket list of places to visit on the planet. The combination of bizarrely unique wildlife, stunning reefs and pristine beaches, fascinating culture, over 100 endemic bird species, delicious local cuisine, amazing scenic diversity, 750 species of endemic orchids, some of the best chocolate in the world and of course, the famous lemurs, makes visiting the biodiversity hotspot of Madagascar an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Phenomenally, over 90% of the island’s wildlife is found nowhere else on earth! This is the reason Madagascar has often been called an “alternate world”, “a world apart” or even the “Eighth Continent”.
This 13 day safari will visit three key wildlife reserves and will highlight the absolute best of what this fascinating island country has to offer, including its incomparable natural beauty and unbelievable fauna and flora. Magical Madagascar will undeniably leave an indelible mark on you forever.
