About Madagascar

Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is one main island with several peripheral islands. Neighbouring islands include the French territory of Reunion and Mauritius to the east, as well as Comoros to the north west. The nearest mainland country is Mozambique to the west.

Madagascar is considered to be a biodiversity hotspot that is home to thousands of species of plants and wildlife. The island was absorbed into the French colonial empire in the late 1800s before it officially gained independence in 1960.

Ecotourism and agriculture form the basis of the economy of Madagascar. It is classed as one of 17 megadiverse countries across the world that house the vast majority of the world’s biodiversity. The world’s fourth largest island is home to a whole host of native plants and animals – in the case of plant life, some 90% of flora is found only on the island and nowhere else.

Madagascar has two main seasons, with a hot but rainy season between November and April and a cooler but dryer season between May and September.
