DISCOVER
MADAGASCAR
THE 8TH
CONTINENT
90% of the species here are found nowhere else on earth.
The world’s fourth largest island, Madagascar is extraordinary, often referred to as the “eighth continent” because of its immense biodiversity that is strikingly different from neighboring Africa.
Madagascar separated from Africa 135 million years ago and never looked back. Massive, this fourth-largest island took with it a random assortment of plant and animal prototypes that would develop in isolation over the subsequent epochs into a magical world that bears little resemblance to the rest of our planet.
90% of the species here are found nowhere else on earth.

EXTRAORDINARY
EXPERIENCESExplore lush rainforests to encounter flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth.
Some habitats have changed little since the dinosaurs made their abrupt exit. Poisonous mantella frogs bejewel the rainforest floors, and chameleons stare down their remarkable world from every angle…at once!
AN ALTERNATE
REALITY
The Malagasy people themselves move through life with a different perspective, with the past laid out before them and the future to their rear. Deceased ancestors are believed to still intervene in daily life if their fady are not observed. Even the rock seems to be shaped by a different set of forces, with vast areas eroded into razor-sharp planes humming audibly in the wind. Madagascar is vast and diverse. The single unifying feature is that it is different from everywhere else.

GETTING
AROUND
Madagascar is immense and its roads are notoriously punishing. This combination makes traveling by yacht particularly appealing. Several of Madagascar’s national parks are accessible exclusively by the sea. The addition of a helicopter allows for rapid transit into the interior while morning temperatures are still cool and conducive to wildlife activity.
