Special things to do and see in Madagascar
Madagascar is the only places to see lemurs, but in addition it’s excellent for unusual flora (baobabs and other spiny forest species), strange spiky limestone formations called tsingy, fabulous beaches and fascinating culture.

When to go to Madagascar
The best time to come to Madagascar is from about April to December, avoiding the monsoon months of January to March. For general wildlife, we’d recommend June to October, but birders would be better off in November or December if you can cope with the heat.
