Madagascar travel reveals a land filled with endemic species and stunning natural scenery. Madagascar separated from the east coast of Africa over 160 million years ago, and its isolation made it a living laboratory of evolution, with plants and animals found nowhere else on earth. Our leader, Jonathan Rossouw, has led many Madagascar wildlife expeditions and is a master at revealing the wonders of the world's "eighth continent" including many species of lemurs, chameleons, frogs, and birds on this in-depth Eco-Expedition.
