    Madagascar HOLIDAYS

    Renowned for the diversity of its flora and fauna - most of which can be found nowhere else on earth - Madagascar is one of the most exciting and fascinating destinations in the world.  At Abercrombie & Kent, we are dedicated to making your Madagascar holiday (or Madagascar Honeymoon) an unforgettable experience from the moment you land in the capital Antananarivo you will know that you have arrived somewhere truly remarkable.

    A&K holidays and honeymoons in Madagascar are as unique as the island environment itself.

    A Madagascar holiday with A&K is all about making the most of the island's unique sights and sounds.  Andasibe National Park (Perinet Reserve)  which is just north of Antananarivo is a great park to start exploring Madagascar as it is home to a variety of Lemurs and birds, including the very elusive Aye Aye.  Moving further north is one of the country's largest parks Masoala National Park where the forest is one the few areas left as a refuges for the rare Red-ruffed lemur.

    The Amber Mountain National Park is an 18,500 hectare park made famous for its huge strangler fig and cycads.  Take time from your travels around Madagascar to spend some time in Nosy Be where ylang-ylang blossoms scent the air.  On a remote peninsula north-west coast of the country is Anjajavy Private Nature Reserve which offers a perfect mix of beach, mangroves and forest.  Moving south of Antananarivo visiting the Isalo National Park is a must for any botanist as it is home to the unique Elephant's Foot plant and some native species of aloe. The Ifotaka Community Forest is a  true example of how tourism and communities can work to be beneficial to one another.

    Encircling it all are dazzling Indian Ocean beaches, tropical island archipelagos and pristine reefs - visit in September to see humpback whales come to calve in the shallow waters to the northeast of the island.

    Pricing
    At A&K all of our holidays to Africa are individually tailored to suit your needs and timescale. However, as a guide, a 13 day Madagascar journey will cost from £3,998 per per person based on two adults sharing with flights from the UK and subject to availability.
