As Bali or Sri Lanka were 40 years ago, Madagascar is still a wild(ish) frontier. With deserts to the south and wet tropical forests to the north. It also has some of the whitest beaches and palest blue Indian Ocean seas.
Madagascar is the only African country with lemurs, and is home to 10 species of the primate.
