As promised, an uplifting look at the special beauty of this island off the eastern coast of Southern Africa.
White sandy beaches….. clear blue/green water….




Baobab trees…..


Amazing tsingy formations, geological features that distinguish the island…. and provide for very challenging “hikes”…..




Lots of caves…

Flora!




Fauna! Separated from the rest of the world, unusual species have developed in Malagasy woods and jungles. Many types of chameleons and lizards…..






Other non-cuddly types
…



And finally….. the creatures most people go to Madagascar to see….. lemurs!





And a baby billy goat….

There is so much more to this place, which we would be happy to discuss with anyone who has an interest. But this blog now comes to a close on the Madagascar phase of our journey.
