Affordable Madagascar Tours Packages For Budget Travelers

Affordable Madagascar Tours Packages For Budget Travelers.

No self-respecting adventurer should miss the opportunity to see Madagascar. Madagascar is one of the most beautiful islands in the world, located off the southeast coast of Africa. It is home to a rich and diverse array of plant and animal life as well as a cultural heritage that has been neglected for two thousand years.

One of the most ecologically distinct countries on Earth, Madagascar is home to 5% of all known plant and animal species as well as 60% of all chameleon species, lemurs, fossa, and six species of Baobab trees. It also happens to be the oldest island on Earth, having separated from the Indian subcontinent 88 million years ago.

During our Affordable Madagascar Tours Packages, we’ll see the island’s breathtaking rainforests, beaches, coral reefs, mountains, and highland massif, learn about the interesting Malagasy culture, and see if we can spot any of the renowned animals that calls Madagascar home. Travelers should still be prepared to face some challenges with its infrastructure, but the benefits are plentiful, and for those who are willing to venture off the established path, many of these rewards are unique to this world.

You can’t talk about Madagascar without bringing up its most recognizable animal, the lemur. Madagascar is home to more than a hundred distinct lemur species, ranging from the largest—the indri—to the most famous—the ring-tailed—and finally, the smallest—the Madame Berthe’s mouse lemur. From the jungles of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park to the alien limestone forests of Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park, these incredible species have adapted to every environment that Madagascar has to offer.

While most people visiting Madagascar aren’t interested in wildlife, the island’s rich cultural heritage is a reflection of the many cultures that settled there in the last two thousand years. These cultures hail from all over the world, including Arabia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Europe. We will see some of these fascinating people on our excursions of Madagascar, such as the Mikea, who are hunter-gatherers who live in the forest and whose way of life has changed little in millennia. And then there are the renowned Zafimanary shipbuilders, whose names are included in UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage due to their legendary skills. Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, is a true melting pot of cultures and is surprisingly cosmopolitan. Any traveler visiting the island should make time to explore this city.
