Madagascar is truly a world apart. Located off the east coast of Africa, Madagascar is the world’s fifth largest island; at 144 million acres, it’s almost the size of Texas. The island harbors lush rain forests, tropical dry forests, plateaus, and deserts. Its more than 3,000 miles of coastline and over 250 islands are home to some of the world’s largest coral reef systems and the most extensive mangrove areas in the Western Indian Ocean. 

Its rain forests are home to diademed sifakas, indris, fossas, and tenrecs, while baobabs and achypodia dot its sandstone deserts. Curious about these exotic-sounding names? For even the best-traveled nature lover, Madagascar offers a kaleidoscope of discoveries. In fact, more than 80% of the island nation’s rare and intriguing plants and animals, including more than 100 different varieties of lemur, exist nowhere else. 

There’s no better way to experience this living time capsule that broke away from the supercontinent 160 million years ago than on our exclusive small-group journey, with private chartered flights to maximize your time and comfort. As you journey through one of the most unique places on Earth, you’ll learn how WWF is working with governments, scientists, industry, and local communities to secure the future for the island’s people and wildlife.
