Endangered Sifakas & Spiny Forests

14 Days

Tailor made Wildlife Holiday

This unique safari takes in two of the best, but least visited, areas of northern Madagascar. Although accommodation here is more rustic than in the south, the reward is getting off the beaten track to see a variety of less common species. These include crowned lemur and Sanford's brown lemur in the green mountains of Montagne d'Ambre, and the silky sifaka of the Marojejy rainforest. The final highlight is a visit to Andasibe-Mantadia to see the iconic indri.
