TRAVEL AFRICA
From lemurs and baobabs to beaches and brilliant vanilla, Madagascar offers up a kind of travel experience gloriously different to anything else.
If travel had a personality, Madagascar would be the friend who disappears for months and comes back with the best stories.
First, the wildlife. Madagascar didn’ t just get animals, it secured the nowhere-else-on-earth package. The island is indeed one of the most distinctive natural environments on Earth, with an extraordinary number of species found nowhere else. Enter the lemurs, the island’ s wide-eyed, scene-stealing superstars that are impossible not to love. You’ ll spot them leaping through trees in places like Andasibe- Mantadia National Park, looking like they’ ve had one too many espressos. Then there are chameleons in every colour imaginable, insects that look like twigs, and baobab trees that seem like the invention of some mad scientist.
