Madagascar travel guides

Isalo landscape

Isolated from the rest of the world, the wildlife and culture of Madagascar has evolved on its own distinct path. Today, the island is home to 200,000 species and you’ll hear their eerie echoes as you trek beneath the dense green canopies of rainforest.

Beyond its wildlife, the people of Madagascar are a fascinating mix, a result of the successive waves of settlement. Learn about their culture, sample their cuisine, or retreat to the pristine stretches of coastline. There's a range to discover here and our Madagascar travel guides will help you make informed decisions about your vacation.
