Highlights of Madagascar
Madagascar is an island located in the Indian Ocean 400 kms off Mozambique. Actually, it is the fourth largest island in the world. The capital and largest city is Antananarivo.
Madagascar is probably one of the best examples of an ecosystem still surviving today. Its variety of animals, birds, reptiles and fauna is simply incredible. Its isolated location has enabled its unique wildlife to survive.
Madagascar is one of the least developed countries in the world and it depends on agriculture and tourism. For travellers, the highlights are its pristine sandy beaches, its national parks and such unique places as the Avenue of the Baobab trees. This is where the trees look mystical or even magical.
In the north of the island. You can visit Nosy Be Island, the Ankarana National Park and the Emerald sea. And not forgetting Tsingy Rouge, a galactic-like red rock formation.
Explore east and you can enjoy the Andasibe National Park, the Palmarium National Park and Saint Marie Island.
Head south and you will find parks such as the Ranomafana Park, the Isalo National Park and the Anja Reserve. Not forgetting, the Zombitse Park, which is split into three forested sections. This is an excellent place for twitchers. For the beach lover there is the beautiful Ifaty Beach. This is where you can visit the offshore coral reef that spans 100 kilometres in the lagoon area. The area offers some excellent diving in the abundantly rich and colourful coral.
Whatever you choose to do in Madagascar, it will be a unique and memorable experience of a lifetime, with a Guides4me guide, who will look after you and by the end of the trip you’ve made a best friend.
