The Zoology of a Gondwanaland Island

Discover the magical island of Madagascar, uninhabited by man until just 2000 years ago. Witness what happens when an isolated island is left to evolve without large predators for 165 million years. 80% of Madagascar’s species are endemic and its protected reserves and rainforests contain amazingly diverse wildlife, from impish ring-tailed lemurs and dancing sifakas to brightly coloured chameleons, frogs and butterflies. There’s a superb array of birds, with the beautiful crested coua amongst the six endemic families and more than seventy species of singing birds and parrots.

HIGHLIGHTS

  1. Delight in finding a diverse range of the island’s 33 species of lemurs, a primate found nowhere else on earth
  2. Discover totally unique flora and fauna, 5% of all known animal and plant species worldwide are found only in Madagascar
  3. Enjoy some of Madagascar’s glorious white sand beaches and unspoiled Indian Ocean coastline
