Rainforests & Lemur Reserves

Eastern rainforest reserves position Madagascar as a world-leading biodiversity destination with iconic lemur encounters and conservation travel.

The turquoise waters of Nosy Be and Nosy Iranja in the north offer tropical island relaxation, while the spiny forests of the south - with their octopus trees and sifaka lemurs - feel like another planet entirely. Community-managed reserves are proving that wildlife tourism can be a powerful tool for both conservation and poverty reduction.
