Madagascar
Tucked away in a tropical corner of the magnificent Indian Ocean, this 4th largest island in the world stands happily aloof from the gargantuan Africa, its alleged parent. Madagascar is indeed referred to as the ‘8th Continent of the World’ for its staggeringly rich ecosystem and the amazing biodiversity that flourishes there. Almost 70% of its wildlife, and a whopping 90% of its flora, are found nowhere else in the world. If that weren’t enough, the Toliara Coral Reef is the 3rd largest in the world. And if all this natural wonder hoopla is not your cup of tea, Madagascar has more fun on tap than any of the other 7 continents; an exotic cuisine that is melted down from European, Creole and African, much like its frenetic, foot-tapping music and dance, art, poetry and culture. In other words, no slouch at ticking all your boxes.

Peak Season Description:
Perfect weather for traveling: warm, dry and sunny days. The lemurs and other indigenous wildlife are out in force, including Humpback Whales around Ile St. Marie. A very busy time as well, as Europe enjoys its school holidays, so book early.
Shoulder Season Description:
A time of downpours, interspersed with bright sunny days. April to June is the period just after cyclone/rainy season, making the landscape lush and bountiful. A great time for wildlife spotting. October is when the vibrantly purple jacarandas bloom. December is busy due to holidays, especially over Christmas.
Low Season Description:
This is cyclone season, when most hotels and activities shut shop. A time of storms and excessive rains, so best avoid traveling at this time.
