The unchartered and isolated island of Madagascar has been described as a ‘living museum’ or ‘lost Eden’; over 80% of its flora and fauna is unique to the country, making it a biologist’s paradise. The culture is a rich and fascinating blend of South East Asian and East African influences, and the lively and colourful Malagasy people form as interesting a back drop as the spectacular geography and wildlife.

Teams will have the opportunity to trek from village to village in the highlands around Fianarantsoa as well as explore Andasibe-Mantadia National Park which is the home of Madagascar’s largest lemur. Madagascar’s varied terrain, especially in central southern Madagascar, make this expedition a great opportunity to do something different and get off the beaten track.
