Madagascar has always held a special place in Bradt’s story, thanks to Hilary Bradt’s enduring connection to this extraordinary region and biodiversity hot spot.
But it’s a vast country, and this year, we celebrate the north.
The iconic Three Bays near Antsiranana offer sweeping coastal views and tranquil sands, while nearby Ramena Beach and the Emerald Sea deliver opportunities for relaxation and snorkeling in crystalline waters. Inland, the trails of Montagne d’Ambre National Park wind through forests alive with waterfalls, orchids, and Madagascar’s famed chameleons.
For those seeking Madagascar’s raw, untamed beauty, the Ankarana Special Reserve is a must-see. Its jagged tsingy formations and hidden caves create a landscape that’s a cross between a cathedral organ and the teeth of Jaws.
