Madagascar
A journey to Madagascar is a visit to a world within the world. The variety of the environments combined with its isolation has produced a diversity in the animal and plant kingdom found nowhere else on earth. It is the fourth largest island in the world and has a history of isolation. 130 million years ago it split from the mainland of what was Gondwanaland and became a unique wildlife sanctuary encompassing a breathtaking variety of landscapes from highland mountains and coastal rainforests to savannah plains, dry baobab forests, lakes, a unique spiny desert, mangroves and of course beautiful beaches. Only Brazil has more primate species than Madagascar, but it is only in Madagascar that you can see lemurs...
