Southern Madagascar
Southern Madagascar is consistently the hottest and driest part of the country with surreal landscapes to fulfil any photographer’s dreams. Exotic flora, spiny forests and avenues of giant baobabs conspire to make the visitor feel they have arrived on another planet. The far southeast is difficult to access by road so most travellers fly into Fort Dauphin, where two oceans meet and tales of shipwrecked sailors and ruthless pirates abound. Stay at a luxury camp surrounded by forest on the banks of the Mandrare River and experience Madagascan culture with the local people as well as exploring the beautiful natural surroundings. To the west, you can reach the stunning Parc National d’Isalo via the coastal town of Tulear. Isalo is one of Madagascar’s most visited national parks and also one of its most beautiful where, after a morning clambering up escarpments and along canyons, walkers can enjoy a well-earned dip in one of the natural rock pools.Properties (5)
