Madagascar

Lemurs leap through island wonders, May to October unveils a dry, wild Eden

9 spots4 speciesJune
The best time to visit Madagascar is between April and October, when dry days unveil lemurs and baobab-lined landscapes. With 20°C to 25°C weather, it’s perfect for exploring Tsingy de Bemaraha, relaxing on Nosy Be, or hiking Andringitra. For fewer crowds, try March or November.
