Madagascar Wildlife Adventure

Most of Madagascar's wildlife can be found nowhere else on Earth. Learn how tourism helps Madagascar's species continue to thrive, even after experiencing significant habitat loss.

Born into one of Madagascar’s pioneer guiding families, Expedition Leader Rija Ratotonirinia has shared his passion for his country’s natural wonders with travelers for more than two decades. Find out what it's like to guide in the land of leaping lemurs, color-changing chameleons and bulbous baobab trees in the video premiere of our new short film, Discover Madagascar: Africa’s Island Apart. The screening will be followed by an interview and viewer Q&A with Rija and video editor Andrew Christofil.

Often called the Eighth Continent, Madagascar is practically another planet when it comes to biodiversity. In fact, more than 90% of its species exist nowhere else on Earth! Join Expedition Leader Matt Meyer as he delves into the details of our Madagascar Wildlife Adventure, a wide-ranging itinerary that includes four national parks spanning rain forest, desert and ocean coast. Learn about the wildlife we're likely to see (including lemurs, chameleons and sunbirds), activities like rain forest hikes and private boat trips, what to pack, where we stay and more.
