Rainforest & Beaches of North Madagascar

Overview

Madagascar is one of those places that is best known for its biodiversity. Many animal and plant species found here are restricted to this region and you won’t find them in any other part of the world. You will experience the chameleon getting along with its surroundings or might just encounter the threatening fossa species. Wildlife treks amid the dense tropical forest must be on top of your to-do list during the visit. Madagascar is also known for its meadows that are meant for expeditions. Most of the tours in Madagascar are scheduled in the latter half of the year due to the oppressive heat during summers. The variety of options available on Madagascar adventure holidays are worth spending your fortune on because they offer you that wildlife experience like never before.



Trip Highlights
  • The fossa is an animal species that resembles a cat and a dog, uniquely found in Madagascar only.
  • Aye-aye animal species is another main attraction in the fields of Madagascar. The animal has a long middle finger which it uses to scoop out insects from the bark of a tree.
  • Three-day cruise travel over Mahajilo and Tsiribihina rivers allows you to experience the true wildlife tours in Madagascar while driving over cool splashes of water.
  • Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park is known for its rock and limestone arrangements that pave a way to trek between the high rocks.
  • Masoala National Park lies on the northeast coast of the island which teems with clear water and mangrove forests.
  • During monsoons, the national parks and the oceans bounding Madagascar are seen with the essence of migratory humpback whales, hence the best time to book your Madagascar adventure holidays.
