Madagascar

Madagascar, the fourth largest island in the world, lies off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. It is famous for its unique wildlife, from colourful chameleons and rare orchids to towering baobab trees, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth.

This natural beauty, especially its underwater world, drew Adrián from Slovakia here several years ago. He now lives on the small island of Nosy Komba, where he runs a boutique hotel and works as a diving instructor.

Nearby on Nosy Be, we visit ylang-ylang plantations, enjoy local street food, catch and taste fresh fish, try traditional rice cake, and see how Madagascar’s famous vanilla is harvested and dried.
