Madagascar, the world’s 4 largest island, is widely considered the eighth continent, and it’s no wonder: although only ~400 km from the African continent, most of the natural wonders found here occur nowhere else on earth. Millions of years of isolation from the African continent have resulted in Madagascar’s staggering levels of biological endemism, making this a must-see destination for naturalists. Incredibly, over half of the country’s bird species, including four families, are endemic, and all the island’s native terrestrial mammals are found only here. These species are as stunning as they are unique, and on our birding and wildlife tour of this amazing nation we have the chance to see species such as striking Long-tailed Ground-Roller, Sickle-billed and Nuthatch Vangas, White-breasted Mesite, Red-capped Coua, Velvet Asity, the rare Madagascar Fish Eagle, endearing mouse-lemurs, Coquerel’s Sifaka, the cute Lesser Hedgehog Tenrec, and the incredible Indri – arguably the planet’s most striking primate. Add to these highlights, the world’s largest and smallest chameleons, the bizarre plant life of the spiny deserts, baobab species (baobabs originated in Madagascar!), and the exquisite rainforests of the eastern escarpment, and you’ll understand why Madagascar is an essential destination. Our tour is perfectly crafted to give you the ultimate experience in this country of extraordinary natural wonders, join us as we unravel the mysteries of Madagascar!
