Hilary Bradt and Daniel Austin August 2012 1st edition 272 pages / Full colour
photos throughout / 21 maps Madagascar's isolation means most of its mammals,
birds, and plants exist nowhere else on earth. This guide showcases the best of
the island with details of all the sights included in tour operators'
itineraries; trips along the Route Nationale 7, around Nosy Be, days trips
around Antananarivo, and tours to the east and southwest of the country.
Detailed maps include 'the top spots' - the six places most favoured by tour
operators, and a birders' map identifies the island's key locations to spot
birds. An authoritative chapter on conservation discusses many of the islands
projects and outlines how visitors can help. With full colour photographs
throughout, this handy book also acts as a field guide to lemurs, chameleons and
a host of other exotic plants and animals.
