Madagascar

As the fourth largest island in the world, Madagascar exudes the charm of an islet, with unspoiled beaches, a magical pirate island, spectacular Nosy Be archipelago, gorgeous lodges and unique wildlife to welcome you. Cut off from mainland Africa for millions of years, Madagascar is teeming with flora and fauna that exists nowhere else in the world.

There is much to do and while you can laze on a sandy beach and dip into crystalline waters to peak at coral reefs, we'd recommend exploring the rest of the island too. Madagascar's forests are home to incredible lemur sightings, no-so-shy chameleons, baobabs, aloes, geckoes, sifakas and octopus' trees.
