Wild Madagascar

An in-depth exploration of this global biodiversity hotspot

Trip Overview

Encounter some of the earth’s most unusual and unique life forms on this isolated island
See lemurs in the wild, fascinating primitive primates found only on Madagascar
Help save Madagascar’s critically threatened forests and wildlife through ecotourism

Madagascar is a world apart. Its forests are home to indri indri, diademed sifakas, aye-ayes, tenrecs, fossa, didiera and pachypodia. For even the best-traveled naturelover, Madagascar offers a kaleidoscope of discoveries. In fact, many of its rare and intriguing plants and animals, like lemurs, exist nowhere else on earth. Once part of a super-continent, Madagascar broke away from that

landmass 100 million years ago and has existed largely in biological isolation since. More than 80 percent of its native species are endemic, making Madagascar a living time capsule. Come with us to discover a continent you

never knew existed.
