| Reasons to visit Madagascar |
|
80% of the animals on Madagascar are found nowhere else in the world. |
|
There are 50 different species of lemurs alone, the smallest being the Mouse Lemur, about the size of a fist, and the largest being the Indri, about half the size of a chimpanzee. |
|
Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world. |
|
Seven of the world's eight species of baobab are found on the island, and to date over 1000 species of orchids. |
|
|
|
The north boasts over 30 islands in the Nosy Be and nearby Nosy Mitsio archipelagos, the east dense forests and wetlands, the west lunar landscapes of limestone known as Tsingy and the south canyons, beaches and baobabs. |
|
Only 3 hours flight from Johannesburg, South Africa, making it a perfect beach add-on destination after a safari, flights 5 times a week |
|
Nothing can prepare you for your first visit to Madagascar. It is completely unlike anything you have experienced before. To begin with, it lies only 400 kms from Africa, yet the local language, Malagasy, shares 90% of its vocabulary with the May'an tribe on the island of Borneo in Indonesia, some 7500 kms away. Settled by the Indonesians over 1500 years ago, the Asian influence is easily seen in the faces of a large part of the population, in the food and in the local architecture. Add to this immigrants from Africa, Europe and China and you have a fascinating mix of cultures.
