Fairytale-like baobab trees, over 70 kinds of lemur, chameleons galore (gigantic and tiny alike) and carnivorous plants; these are just a few of the highlights to be found in Madagascar, which is home to 5% of the world’s plant and animal species. Visit this African island nation for the flora and fauna as well as the friendly people who speak Malagasy and French, and follow Malagasy mythology as well as Christianity and Islam.
