Madagascar really is the Land of Wonders. A huge island where virtually all of the resident flora and fauna are found nowhere else, it’s a place where the bird list isn’t enormous but the quality of the birds you see is through the roof. We’re just back from a 3 week trip where we saw a remarkable 90% of all of the endemic birds that live on the island. In addition, we saw an incredible 46 species of reptiles and 20 species of lemurs. It’s a fascinating country to travel through, where the quality of the hotels has only improved in recent years even as the roads haven’t improved one bit! At the moment, we are only offering it as a private tour, but do get in touch if you are keen! And don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see more photos of its birds, chameleons, geckos, lemurs, and more.
The five members of the Ground-Roller family are only found in Madagascar. They are the birds that birders want to see more than any others. They aren’t easy to find, but we managed great views of all five on our recent tour—quite an accomplishment! Photo by Josh Engel.
