Updated on April 08, 2022
Welcome to Madagascar
There are many strange creatures here, more than 80% of the wild animals and plants are unique to the island, and the biodiversity is extremely rich, becoming the last home of many endangered species, so Madagascar is also called "the last Noah's Ark."
Lemurs are unique to Madagascar and are more common here. In addition, there are many unique and rare chameleons, insects, birds and tortoises.
Geology Overview
Madagascar is located in the southern hemisphere, southeast of the African continent. It is the fourth largest island in the world and the largest in Africa. It faces the African continent across the Mozambique Strait and is close to Reunion and Mauritius. The island of Madagascar was separated from the mainland hundreds of millions of years ago. The creatures on the island thrived in a relatively isolated natural environment and formed a unique wild ecosystem. People gave it a slightly sad name " Isolated island forgotten by time".
Wild World
Rare flora and fauna are Madagascar's most attractive tourist resources. More than 80 species of lemurs, baobab trees tens of meters high, and the world's largest and smallest chameleon can only be seen in Madagascar. In addition, Madagascar still retains the original landform that formed hundreds of millions of years ago and the pure beaches that were selected as the top ten in the world.
