Madagascar
Madagascar is like no place else on earth. The breathtaking landscapes and the exceptional flora and fauna simply blows you away. Separated from Africa by hundreds of kilometres of sea and 165 million years of evolution have evolved Madagascar's plants and animals into some of the weirdest forms on the planet. Nowhere else can you see over 70 varieties of lemur, the world's biggest and smallest chameleons, and 6 endemic Baobab species. And the people are no less interesting: arriving here some 2000 years ago along the Indian Ocean trade routes, they grow rice in terraced paddies, and speak a language that has more in common with their origins in Southeast Asia than with the African continent. Their culture is steeped in taboo and magic. Further you will be amazed by their unconditional hospitality.
