Madagascar Essentials

Madagascar's diverse geography ranges from the iconic Grandidier's baobabs of Morondava to the jagged limestone needles of Tsingy de Bemaraha. The island's history is preserved at the Royal Hill of Ambohimanga and the Rova of Antananarivo, the former seat of the Merina Kingdom. Nature reserves like Ranomafana and Andasibe-Mantadia protect numerous lemur species within primary rainforests, while Isalo National Park features dramatic sandstone canyons. In the north, the vibrant red laterite formations of Tsingy Rouges contrast with the high-altitude granite massifs of Andringitra.
