Tailor-made Madagascar

Chameleon, Wildlife Holidays to Madagascar

Madagascar is a country like no other. So often are the words "unique" and "bizarre" used when describing the world's fourth-largest island that they have become synonymous. Coupled with all that makes it unusual, Madagascar also displays great diversity with distinct areas of rainforest, deciduous forest, high mountains and deserts. And it is the extraordinary array of wildlife that these habitats support, the majority of which is found nowhere else in the world that is Madagascar's feature attraction. In short, Madagascar is intoxicating - a destination brimming with intrigue and excitement. It offers a strange and incongruous mix of wildlife and culture that combine to produce a country unlike any other. Memories of the friendly people, unique habitats and bizarre wildlife will linger and the overriding experience will be of an island lost in time.
