Travel to Madagascar - A Dream Made Reality

Travel to Madagascar. It may sound like a remote island, a remote name, somewhere that you would not think at the first time when planning your holidays. Far from reality, the treasures that make Madagascar one of the most beautiful islands in the world are hidden there and mostly still unspoiled. Now it is the time to travel to Madagascar and discover its nature in a privileged way, before the destination becomes too famous to allow you to breath any peace and quiet in the air.

When thinking about Madagascar, my perfect trip would definitely be focused on natural life. 

Towns are amazing and colorful, but the main attractive of the island is the exotic and endemic nature. It seems that an 80% of all the flora and the fauna is endemic, and a 95% of the spiny desert is endemic too. As many islands, such as the case of New Zealand, evolution has been able to take its own course apart from the main continents, so that the natural conditions created can differ a lot from inland. Most time this remote islands are a good paradise for birds, and when you travel to Madagascar you will also discover thousands of other native species living only there in the whole planet.

To travel to Madagascar, there are some companies that organize trips there, but I was specially impressed by the kayaking offer that Explorers Corner has. They always have something hidden there and in this occasion I think the price is really worth it, as it does not go over 4500 dollars for a trip of 18 days in which you will be combining the kayaking in remote inland rivers and sea paddling, looking at other more famous places of world's heritage, trekking natural parks and many different rainforests and bringing home an experience of a lifetime.

It is also said that people living there are some of the most nice people in the world, and this is something that happens usually with islanders. It seems that the fact to live in a relatively small piece of land makes the way of life pretty different than when you are based inland. In this way, travel to Madagascar will make the cultural experience reach the maximum because of the possibility to engage with nice locals.

For sure travel to Madagascar is not the kind of adventure for people looking for luxury establishments and superb dinning opportunities, specially if you consider them superb because of the price. Instead, with a good combination of hotels, B&Bs and some nights at tent camps you will sure get the taste of the real life in the island and, of course, of the good food that generally islanders are recognized to have.

This is an adventure trip suitable for any kind of person, as no special fitness level is required, but you should understand that an adventure trip means that you will be always as much in contact with nature as possible. Travel to Madagascar, far from being dangerous as many people sometimes suggests, it is a great opportunity to come back to your origins, to escape from the stressing city life and even city tourism that guides you from one building to another in noisy and chaotic cities. Let's relax and take it easy. In the end, in the deepness of every one of us, we've got an animal.
