"May I announce to you that Madagascar is the naturalist' promise land? Nature seems to have retreated there into a private sanctuary, where she could work on different models from any she has used elsewhere. There you meet bizarre and marvelous forms at every step."

- Philippe De Commerson, 1771

Although greatly changed by man since 1771, Madagascar remains a truly wonderful country with unique wildlife, bizarre plants, superb climate, and the nicest people you will find anywhere. Even the cities and towns are fascinating, thanks to some inspired architecture and the Malagasy love for flowers, music, and warm colors.

If you like camping, wild natural places, and exercising in gorgeous weather, then you will love a Madagascar river trip. Paddling takes you at a pace that allows you to take it all in and truly enjoy the tranquility of your surroundings.
