Madagascar Island Holidays.

This huge red island is an ecological egg shell in delicacy. A storehouse of amazing creatures and plants. No one who journeys to Madagascar is left unaffected. The infrastructure is weak and it is imperative to make use of a tour operator for your journey to Madagascar. Distances are vast, public transport is daunting and there is the language barrier. Names of places are difficult, in fact impossible to pronounce.

There are 18 main ethnic groups on Madagascar and countless clans, all speaking Malagasy in various dialects. With a total land area of 590,000 sq km the island is the fourth largest in the world. There are 4 main regions and several sub regions. Highlands, cold and dramatic. Midlands with gentle hills that roll down to the hot lowlands. This results in a carpet of green to semi-desert and staggering rock formations. Along the central and North East coast are the threatened rainforests.

This is a difficult island to package into a holiday because of the vastness of the island. The traveler can be frustrated if he wishes to see the entire island. Therefore, Madagascar lends itself to the frequent visitor, every visit will deliver new sensations and experiences, diving, fishing, mountain climbing, birding. This is paradise.
