A Madagascan safari is a unique experience… A chameleon the size of your forearm, a lemur that sounds like a whale and the giraffe-necked weevil are just some of the oddities that will astound you on the isle of Madagascar. This island; slightly larger than California, lying off the east coast of Africa is the oldest island in the world and is home to the most incredible biodiversity, much of which is found nowhere else on earth. All safaris here are walking as you explore the various rain forests and arid woodlands in search of some of the world’s most bizarre and fascinating creatures.
Highlights
- Try to see all 110 species of lemur
- Dive, snorkel or swim with whale sharks
- Listen to the call of the Indri
- Explore the Tsingy, a near impenetrable labyrinth of limestone needles
- Photograph the famous Baobab Alley
- Enjoy an exhilarating helicopter ride over mountains, baobabs and shipwrecks.

“Thanks you so much for everything you did to make this dream trip come true. I don’t think I can ever forget the Indri calling near our hotel – ever! You made all the hiking such fun as we discovered the animals and birds in the forests .”
Jean Simmons, Australia
