Madagascar split from Africa some 180 million years ago and evolved into a world of its own - the fourth-largest island on Earth, where over 90% of wildlife exists nowhere else. From the razor limestone of the Tsingy to the Avenue of the Baobabs and 18 tribes blending African and Asian cultures, this is a destination your clients have never seen - and will never forget.
