Madagascar
Mid-way between Africa and Asia, Madagascar is a unique island-continent. A destination you will not forget; more than a discovery, a revelation… Between the exuberance of its tropical forests, its desert landscapes, its forests of baobabs, ‘Mada’ is also bathed by the Indian Ocean ! And here, protect your eyes… The lagoons of the multiple small islands will allow you to discover an incredibly rich seabed and deserted anchorages which are unique in the world !
