Where to see
The Culture of Madagascar: Ancestors, Traditions and a Tapestry of Peoples
In The Great South
Isalo National Park
Far from a typical Malagasy rainforest, Isalo is a geological epic sculpted from sandstone. Trek through immense canyons that open onto palm-fringed oases and natural swimming pools, with Bara tombs etched into the sheer rock faces.
Ifaty and Mangily
More than just a beach destination, this coastline is where the unique spiny forest biome meets the world's third-largest coral reef. Explore the bizarre flora before watching Vezo fishermen guide their pirogues across the calm, protected lagoon.
Anja Community Reserve
Often seen as merely a stop for lemur-spotting, Anja is a pioneering model of community-led conservation. Here you can navigate a maze of granite boulders to find entire troops of ring-tailed lemurs, whilst discovering sacred Bara tombs hidden within its caves.
Anosy Region & Fort-Dauphin
Sometimes dismissed as a remote outpost, the Anosy region is a critical hub of southern biodiversity. From the historic town of Fort-Dauphin, you can venture into reserves that are home to habituated lemurs and the world's largest population of radiated tortoises.
