Share the excitement of spotting Madagascar’s lemurs as a family

Few creatures can match the mini-monkey cuteness of the lemur and these small but perfectly formed primates are only found on the enchanting island of Madagascar. This fantastic holiday allows families to be immersed in Madagascar’s fascinating traditions whilst also heading out in to the rainforest in search of these adorable animals. For an African safari experience with a difference, children and adults alike will love getting so close to nature before discovering hot springs and hitting the beach.

  • Enjoy a warm welcome from the Malagasy people
  • Experience nature’s nightlife on a nocturnal walk
  • Explore the former royal retreat of Ambohimanga Palace
  • Learn to identify the bulbous baobab tree
  • Search for local birds and resident reptiles
  • Spot as many of Madagascar’s 30 lemurs as possible
  • Take a rickshaw to the sweet factory
  • Watch out for passing whales at the beach
