An ark tethered in the Indian Ocean. Resplendent in its isolation, Madagascar has created a cocoon that has quietly nurtured some of the world’s most unique species.

Flora and fauna found nowhere else on the planet; a cornucopia of chameleons and lemurs makes for a joyous journey across a series of diverse landscapes.

Deep-rooted beliefs in local spirits, ancestor worship, and a rich tapestry of traditional taboos, provide the glue that binds the Malagasy people with the natural world.

This close link to nature is reflected in all aspects of Malagasy life – from the yellow sandalwood paste that protects and nourishes the skin, to the traditional dug-out canoes (Pirogues) of the Vezo people.
