Madagascar

During your holiday you will find many aspects unique to the Island of Madagascar - from the wildlife to the trees, the fauna and the rock formations, 

many things that you will experience on your Madagascar holiday can seldom be found or experienced elsewhere.   It is the one place in the world

where you can see lemurs dancing with their babies in the wild, or hear the famous Madagascar hissing cockroach.  Through its rich

and unique flora and fauna the island becomes a paradise for nature specialists.  The name Madagascar conjures up

visions of discovery and adventure.

Away from the main tourist attractions, Madagascar offers much to be discovered - beautiful white unspoiled beaches and crystal clear

waters with virgin coral reefs; enticing swimmers, surfers, sailors snorkellers and fishermen into the warm Indian Ocean waters.

Unlike many other Indian Ocean islands it is not a commercialised "holiday island", making it one of the great unevolved and undiscovered adventure

destinations of the world.
