Jewels of Madagascar

Madagascar is called the “Red Island” for its ochre-colored soil, but it could easily be “blue” for its coastal waters, “green” for its lush forests, and any color of the rainbow for the unique flora and fauna that exist only here. Our adventure takes us to national parks, arboretums, and forest stations where lemurs, chameleons, and flying foxes inhabit one of the world’s most fascinating biodiversity hotspots.
