MADAGASCAR

Early this year Madagascar suffered for political unrest... we are pleased to report that the situation has been resolved, all is now peaceful and safe for travellers. To encourage tourists to return the government has suspended visa requirements.

MADAGASCAR, which has become one of the most sought after destinations in recent years, and yet, mass tourism has not reached the island and its charm has been preserved.

The island offers uniqueness and diversity - a holiday here will be like no other... beaches, sun, sea and coconut trees are all present all along the coast. Into the mainland the beautiful scenery changes marvellously: tropical forests, dry forests, steppes and savannahs, large valleys both green and red are lined up offering you scenic beauty of the nature. The island also has a staggering diversity of plant and animal species, some 80% of which are found nowhere else on the planet. On top of that you will encounter friendly and smiling faces wherever you go reminding you of the friendly nature of the land and its inhabitants
These are just a few of the reasons why visitors never tire of travelling from one region to another. Below are a few itineraries to tempt you.

TRAVELLING AFRICA INDEPENDENTLY

Although this Newsletter is mainly dedicated to what's in our travel center - the Africa Guide has so much useful information for travellers who wish to see Africa independently. Before embarking on a trip to Africa, research is key to getting the most out of your experience, there are very few websites that cover the whole of Africa with up-to-date, useful and comprehensive information. For those of you who wish to travel independently, The Africa Guide website has the following sections that will prove to be invaluable for making your plans.

Please visit our Africa Countries Index and select the country you are interested in .
 

We hope you have enjoyed this Newsletter. Please let you family, friends and colleagues who are thinking of visiting Africa know about The Africa Guide where they will be able to find all the information they need to plan their travels.

Happy Travels
