Madagascar 13 DAYS including from $7,595* 5/5/2007 - Travel Director: Dale Martin Madagascar is a land of exotic landscapes, stunning coastlines and endemic flora and fauna, including 35 different species of lemur. In addition, it offers distinctive culture, colonial architecture and a vibrant musical tradition. Isolated from the continents 160 million years ago, Madagascar followed a unique evolutionary path and the results are on display: enormous tortoises, elephant birds and nine-tenths of the world's lemurs, which flourish on this beautiful island -- and nowhere else on Earth. From the Indri lemur (the largest) of Perinent Special Reserve to the dancing Sifaka lemurs of Berenty Reserve, these amazing primates make an unforgettable impression.
