Travel to the Lost Continent in search of endemic wildlife, contrasting cultures and unforgettable scenery. Traverse the island from the bustling streets of the capital to the volcanic planes of the Central Highlands, via the rich rainforest and on to the golden beaches of the coast. Along the way, tick off Madagascar's National Parks in search of lemurs, chameleons and more, and immerse yourself in local life visiting colourful markets and artisan workshops. Reserves and National Parks - Hear the Indri lemurs' morning call in the Andasible Reserve and spot the Golden Bamboo lemur in the rainforest of Ranomafana. Spectacular landscapes - From the rice paddies and villages of the highlands to the arid, cactus-strewn planes of the Spiny Desert and Madagascar's Grand Canyon, witness the island's unrivalled scenery. Paradisal beaches - Spend two days unwinding on the white-sand beaches of Iftay, a tropical paradise with prolific birdlife.
