Madagascar: The Bradt Travel Guide

Front Cover
Bradt Travel Guides, 2007 - Travel - 468 pages
Madagascar is no longer a destination only for the tough adventurer. Visitors can relax at fly-in resorts like Anjajavy, where lemurs cavort in the trees shading the swimming pool, while budgetconscious travellers will find an abundance of cheap hotels and affordable local transport. This is an island of constant delights: the animais, people and landscape are like nowhere else on earth and the ninth edition of this award-winning guide helps you to make the most of it. -- Publisher description.
