This is an Ultimate Photo Adventure!
This will be our 4th photo adventure to this incredible island. Madagascar is an island in the Indian Ocean, ±400km’s from the Southern African east coast. Over millions of years, Madagascar developed a unique flora and fauna. This is the place where evolution has run wild and it has such a high degree of endemism that it is truly like nowhere else on earth!
Madagascar is famous for the remarkable selection of lemurs – over twenty different species of lemurs occur here and we are sure to see many! This tour is designed to offer you a unique experience, as we will concentrate on the stunning nature of the island. We explore beaches to central highlands, rainforest to the famous Baobab Allee.
Culture & scenery also features very high to create maximum shooting diversity! We use professional driver/guides. We travel in a small group which provides flexible arrangements that ordinary tours with their usual large groups can not provide. Our accommodation is beautiful throughout.
“I have to say that this was one of the most amazing nature and cultural tours I have ever experienced. Basic infrastructure is offset by incredible animals that you would think should be on another planet. The people are very nice and very photogenic.” Darran
