Madagascar, an island apart ?


Madagascar is an island apart. The men there are the heirs of navigator peoples who, braving the ocean, came from distant Southeast Asia aboard canoes with pendulums and Bantu who, curious about new horizons, left their nearby Africa.

Over time, Swahili, Portuguese, French… succumbed and, even today, those who set foot there succumb to its incomparable charms. To his culture. To his smiles. To his courage… To his nature.

madagascar-lireWith ancestors also from the African continent, the famous lemurs, who are not found elsewhere in the wild, joined the Great Island perched on piles of branches carried by the waters of the Mozambique Channel, millions of years ago.

A Big Island whose sanctuaries they share, whether green or arid, with mammals, insects, birds, reptiles having nothing to envy them in singularity and endemism. Madagascar, an island apart, has an adventurous soul. It is the beautiful soul of those who live there.
