Experience the Mysteries of Madagascar

Madagascar, the Emerald Isle of the Indian Ocean, the Fourth largest island in the world - after Greenland, Papua New Guinea and Borneo - is an island of immense natural beauty. It completed its separation from all other land masses more than 60 million years ago and now lies 400km from the African across the Mozambique Channel. The island has since lived in splendid isolation. Malagasy flora and fauna has become unique, diversifying in the island’s desert, savannah and rainforest climate regions, preserving over 200,000 species of plants and animals only found in Madagascar, and nowhere else on Earth. Visit Madagascar and experience this unique island, its ocean and people.
