Brief Description
Join us for an adventure to experience the unique plants, animals, and culture on the exotic island of
Madagascar – including many, many lemurs. The tour will travel from the central highlands to the east coast rainforests, and on to the varied dry habitats of the northern part of the country. Enjoy nature and nocturnal walks to see numerous species of wildlife, and relax on a beach in a private cove. The tour will be led by Duke Lemur Center conservation coordinator Charlie Welch, who lived and worked in Madagascar for 15 years.
Madagascar is one of the highest conservation priorities on the planet due to its high level of endemic biota, and the rapid rate at which much of that biota is unfortunately disappearing. A post-tour option will take some hardy participants to mountains of Marojejy National Park, in northeastern Madagascar. This is the site of a new conservation initiative by the Duke Lemur Center to help protect the forest of this stunning region through research and multifaceted projects with the local populations.
