Madagascar is a synonym for biodiversity and is one of the richest regions on the planet in terms of fauna and flora. Its rainforests and coral shelter host endemic flowers, birds, and animals, including its famous lemurs and superb orchids. This island off the African coast is the fifth largest in area in the world and offers unparalleled ecotourism experiences for the too-rare visitors who make it their destination. The Avenue of the Baobabs in itself will leave you breathless at the sight of thousand-year-old giants lining its dirt road. Culture and traditions are also deeply rooted in the hearts of Malagasies, who scorn the difficulties of day-to-day life and always wear their brightest smiles, making the adventure all the more pleasant.
