Madagascar

October, 2009

Escorted by Bernadette Plair, Research Associate, Cincinnati Zoo (PDF)

Explore the rare treasures of the world’s fourth largest island and the only place where the exotic lemur has its natural roots. Madagascar is a living laboratory to unravel the evolution of plants and animals, while enjoying the unique blend of cultures, from French traditionalism to the enchanting rituals of the Malagasy. Traverse this diverse land and all it offers: the stark, rugged beauty of the exotic south and Berenty Reserve, the strange rock formations in Isalo National Park, the untamed rainforest of Perinet, and the wildlife that calls them home. And of course, the lemurs! Become enthralled with the unusual dancing sifakas and hear the intense wailing of the largest species, the indri. The land, its culture and its lemurs, will definitely leap into your heart!
