The Great Island, lemurs and giant baobabs
Madagascar, the fourth-largest island in the world (587,000 km²), is nicknamed 'the eighth wonder of the world' for its extraordinary biodiversity: 90% of its animal and plant species are endemic. Lemurs, spectacularly coloured chameleons, the giant baobabs of the Avenue of Morondava and the UNESCO-listed tsingy of Bemaraha make up a natural setting unlike anywhere else on Earth. Nosy Be, an island off the north-west coast, is the main seaside destination, with its heavenly beaches and exceptional seabeds.
