​Madagascar, the island that time forgot ... the land of the baobab is a destination like no other, for more than 90% of its wildlife is endemic.

 

If you’ve been thinking about this destination, as I had for many years, it more than repays the journey. Madagascar is amazing, and constantly surprising.

​

The Red Island, as it’s known, is as diverse a place as one could imagine: wet rain forests the length of the country abound with diverse wildlife on the east coast, whilst the west coast offers dry forests with entirely different flora and fauna. In my first week I sighted nine species of lemurs between the western dry forests and the south eastern rainforests ... there's more than 110 species, but each sighting is a joy!

 

The landscape is spectacular, with beautiful beaches, hideaway islands, fascinating villages and culture. Malagasy people are a delight, and with the French to thank for their influence on cuisine, dining in Madagascar is a pleasure.

 

Join me at the very best time to travel here with two special Explorer Tours which I’ve designed in conjunction with my expert guide and Malagasy Tourism to create panoramic travel experiences with excellent accommodation - often luxurious, but camping is also an option as we go north -using comfortable vehicles and, as a small group, special charter flights to facilitate our best use of time.
