A new, thoroughly updated 13th edition of Bradt's Madagascar, the
leading and most comprehensive guide to this unique island nation,
written by Hilary Bradt, who first visited in 1976 and has returned
roughly 35 times, and Daniel Austin, who has visited more than 15
times and continues to travel there annually. Bradt's Madagascar is
by far the most thorough guide to the country in English and is
written and updated by established experts whose unparalleled
knowledge of Madagascar combines with contributions from over 50
specialists in a book which has been the most authoritative guide
to the country for three decades. It covers national parks and
protected areas and includes itineraries to suit all interests and
budgets, plus details of around 1,000 hotels and restaurants.
Madagascar is like nowhere else on earth. It is fascinating not
only zoologically and botanically, but culturally, linguistically,
historically and geologically. This vast island is the fourth
largest in the world and also the oldest, which partly explains why
it has evolved into an incredible hotspot for biodiversity, with a
truly unique flora and fauna that is more than 80% endemic to the
island, and with new species being described virtually on a daily
basis. Madagascar is also the only place where you can see wild
lemurs. Almost a quarter of the world's 450-or-so primates exist
only here. With Bradt's Madagascar you can visit tropical
rainforest and seek out its incredible flora and fauna; explore
otherworldly eroded limestone spires, most famously at Tsingy de
Bemaraha National Park - Madagascar's most striking landscape;
discover the beach-fringed islands around Nosy Be with their
fabulous scuba diving, snorkelling, kayaking, whale-watching and
fishing; and make the most of a host of adventuring and sporting
possibilities, including surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, rock
climbing, tree climbing, caving, river trips, mountain biking,
distance running, quad biking and hiking. Also covered are the
UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ambohimanga, the renowned Avenue des
Baobabs, one of the country's most photographed scenes, and
information on the best birdwatching spots: Madagascar has almost
300 avian species, with a high proportion of endemics, including
five whole endemic families.
