While Madagascar is a land of extraordinary cultural richness. It's a place where in many areas taboo and tradition take precedence over the law; and western-style religion is freely mixed with beliefs in sorcery and unparalleled funerary customs. Attending a famadihana (traditional exhumation and reburial) or a traditional circumcision ceremony can be the highlight of a trip.

Just off of Madagascar’s northeast coast, this volcanic island is the country’s largest and busiest tourist area. Wildlife thrives at the well-protected Lokobe Reserve, and the island is home to one of the world’s smallest frogs and most colorful chameleons. Most visitors come for the beach, but despite thousands of tourists, the atmosphere is quite and calm.

Isalo National Park is known for its wide variety of terrain, including sandstone formations, deep canyons, palm-lined oases, and grassland. It’s a marvel of evolutionary processes, with an unearthly, sometimes eerie landscape that’s home to endemic plants and ringtail, brown and sifaka lemurs, as well as sacred Bara burial sites. Its interior boasts valleys, waterfalls and canyons. It’s one of Madagascar’s most popular national parks.

Trekking through Parc National de Ranomafana’s misty and magical cloud forest is a soul-soothing experience. The landscape consists of odd-shaped rolling hills, thick with dark-green vegetation, and numerous small streams that turn into waterfalls. It’s one of Madagascar’s most popular parks, with fabulous forest walks, lemur-spotting and excellent tourist facilities.
