Highlights: Wildlife
Madagascar is home to one of the most remarkable wildlife assemblages on earth. It is not a "chip off the old Africa block", rather it is a parallel world where strange and bizarre animals and plants have evolved. At every turn there is something that jolts the senses and challenges convention. In Madagascar, expect the unexpected.
