Madagascar

Dirt road through the baobabs of Madagascar

Madagascar is not like anywhere else on earth. Separated from Africa for about 90 million years, it evolved its own world: more than 100 species of lemur, chameleons the size of a thumbnail, baobabs that look like they were planted upside down, and a forest of limestone blades called the tsingy. It is a country […]

They are the remains of a vast ancient lake, and today the landscape includes the Sua and Ntwetwe pans, baobab islands, grassland and the Boteti River. The pans change […]
