Madagascar is one of the most biodiverse-rich countries of the world. Unique combinations of landscapes, people, history and culture offer the traveller a unique and inspiring experience. Madagascar is a country that is quickly becoming a 'must see' on the travellers' map, and for very good reason: Animal species that can only be seen (and heard!) in Madagascar, a fascinating mixture of Asian, African and Middle Eastern cultures and a welcoming aura of peace and kindness unlike any other.

Madagascar is still known by many only due to the recent Pixar movie. While those animals never even make it to Madagascar, nor do most of those animals even exist in Madagascar, there is a reason they chose to name the movie after this country. The name brings up images of strange and unfamiliar animals, exotic and distant lands, all with a touch of harshness yo let us know that there are still a lot of unknown and unexplored parts in the country and many dramatic differences in terrain, lifestyle and culture.
