In a nut shell

Western and southern Madagascar is a wide adventure among the most dramatic forms of nature. The majestic Baobab Alley is a unique place in Madagascar. The west coast offers magnificent coastal settlements that serve as a gateway to the fifth-largest coral reef in the world. The vast miles of thorny forest is home to some of the strangest and most formidable plants on earth.
The rugged desert canyons of Isalo National Park rival those of Arizona. For many, a cabin in Isalo and a piece of beach is enough.
