Isolated from the continents 160 million years ago, Madagascar is the world’s fourth largest island, covering an area of over 500,000 square kilometers. Its most prominent feature would have to be the steep mountain range paralleling the entire eastern coast.
Madagascar is legendary for its profusion of wildlife and flora, much of which is not found anywhere else on earth – a nature-lover’s paradise. Deciduous forests, crystalline lakes, massive caverns, and savanna grassland dot the broad western plains, and the southern tip of the island is covered with a magnificent desert. This Eden-like garden of riches is filled with so much diversity in life and in geography that it is like no other island anywhere on
Madagascar offers limitless opportunities for exploration.
