Madagascar Holidays


africa
Madagascar holidays promise incredible wildlife, spectacular scenery and a host of natural wonders.

Cast adrift in isolation for over 80 million years, the world’s fourth largest island boasts an astonishing range of bio-diversity found almost nowhere else on earth. Largely off the beaten track even today and the perfect location for an adventure, Madagascar is a deeply rewarding destination that few have had the pleasure of discovering.

Deep in the heart of the famous national parks you’ll find unique wildlife from lemurs and giant chameleons, to over 300 species of bird. Even in Madagascar’s capital, Antananarivo you may spot the odd lemur or chameleon! Madagascar's scenery is no less varied from lush rainforests and rice terraces, to desert like plains dotted with soaring baobab trees. To complete the picture, you’ll discover beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters teeming with marine life. With so much to offer, a Madagascar holiday is sure to capture your heart!

Trailfinders offers a range of Madagascar holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Madagascar on a sociable guided group tour or are looking for advice on how to combine a Madagascar holiday with a beach destination elsewhere in the Indian Ocean – they are the perfect people to ask.
