Renowned for its profusion of wildlife and flora, 80 per cent of which can be found nowhere else on Earth, Madagascar is a nature lover's dream. The island's unique evolutionary path has produced elephant birds, giant lemurs and pygmy hippos. It also offers dazzling beaches and clear turquoise waters teeming with marine life.

Rainbow Tours says
Madagascar is one of the world’s truly exclusive experiences: unique wildlife, dramatic scenery, a veritable paradise of island archipelagos and unspoiled beaches for nature lovers. There is nowhere like it on Earth.
Now is the time to visit. Madagascar’s infrastructure has been improved, yet the country remains off the radar of the masses and retains an air of enticing mystery. As specialists, we offer a wide and flexible range of tours and holidays.
One of the most popular tours is the 14-night Madagascar Wildlife in Style. On arrival, you overnight in Antananarivo, then fly to the remote Masoala Peninsula – 230,000 hectares of rainforest rolling down from the mountains to deserted white-sand beaches. Spend 4 days searching for rare and beautiful lemurs, unique and critically-endangered birds and extraordinary reptiles; snorkelling over untouched reefs or kayaking to vanilla-growing hamlets.
Overnight in a boutique hotel in Tana before the scenic flight to fabulous Anjajavy, on the northwest coast. Spend 7 days amidst the wildlife of the dry forest habitat, contemplating baobabs and the unique tsingy (limestone escarpments), relaxing by the pool, on the beach or paddling through the silent mangroves to find the rare Madagascar Sacred Ibis.
This 14-night itinerary includes all flights, transfers, accommodation and meals (breakfast only in Antananarivo), reserve entry permits and guide services.
