It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through Madagascar with us.
Madagascar is home to six species of baobab trees. The largest of these trees can grow up to nearly 100 feet tall. These iconic trees are currently classified as endangered and are protected.

One of Madagascar’s most well-known animals is the lemur. The sifaka, one of the largest lemurs on the planet, are only found in Madagascar and are a threatened species.

The traditional Hiragasy is the official national Madagascan dance of the island and includes a day-long event of music, dance and storytelling. Dating back to the 18th century, this event sees more than 80 troupes perform throughout Madagascar. Dances vary across the different cultures, each featuring different attire and purposes. © Irishka777 | Dreamstime.com
Located in the Ilhorombe region, Isalo National Park spans more than 300 square miles. A local guide is required to enter the park, with options for guided treks lasting anywhere from a few hours to a week.
