Evolution has occurred more or less in isolation on this remote island – located 400 kilometres off Africa’s east coast – with the result that much of its indigenous wildlife is found nowhere else on earth. Madagascar’s menagerie of weird and wonderful creatures includes the world’s biggest and smallest chameleons and over 70 species of lemur – long-tailed primates endemic to the island. The Madagascan landscape is no less compelling than the resident wildlife, with terrain ranging from lush jungles and palm-fringed beaches to the knife-edged karst tsingys of the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park’s ‘stone forests’. Madagascar is an otherworldly paradise where visitors are offered a unique glimpse into a fantastical one-of-a-kind world.
Set across a series of hills in Madagascar's central highlands, Antananarivo is the country's vibrant capital and cultural heart. Often referred to as "Tana", the city combines a rich history with a lively urban atmosphere, where colourful markets, colonial-era buildings, and bustling streets reflect a blend of Malagasy traditions and past influences. Visitors can explore the historic Upper Town, admire panoramic views from the restored Queen's Palace, and browse local crafts, spices and produce in the city's markets. The scent of street food drifts through the air, while narrow lanes and steep stairways reveal hidden corners of everyday life. Dynamic and energetic, Antananarivo offers an authentic introduction to Madagascar's culture, history and distinctive character.
Situated on the northwest coast of the exotic island of Madagascar, the Anjajavy area is home to a biodiverse reserve, luxurious beachfront lodges, a small fishing village and spectacularly scenic landscapes. Anjajavy features pristine beaches with sandy coves fringed by crystal clear turquoise waters, abundant and diverse wildlife, and tropical landscapes covered with rosewood and baobab trees. This remote paradise offers visitors a multitude of activities including: lounging on secluded beaches, indulging in a relaxing spa day, catching a glimpse of the Madagascan lemur or enjoying ocean-fresh seafood.
