Welcome to the Madagascan capital, which is also referred to as "City of the Thousand". Two different explanations about the origins of this alternative name exist. One is that it was given to the city due to the sacred hills that surround it. The second explanation is that it refers to a legend of a battle once waged here by King An. It is almost inevitable that you will visit Antananarivo at some point during your trip to Madagascar.

Salama and welcome to these Madagascar travel pages. What do you think of if we say Madagascar? You think of lemurs and baobab trees. A good guess, they are indeed worth the trip. But you will see that besides these two extraordinary species, the Great Red Island holds many charming attractions… Madagascar has unique fauna and flora. You will have the good luck to see orchids, fluorescent ferns, lichens, baobab trees and a huge number of other flowers and trees, with the island playing host to over 9000 types of plants. During your trip in Madagascar, you will go on extraordinary treks: tropical jungles, high plains, dry areas or paradisiacal beaches, the range of landscapes is just as sublime as it is varied. This astounding diversity is a consequence of the island’s history. The land separated very early on from Africa and developed its own environment, as if it were a continent itself, though it’s the same size as France! A stay in Madagascar will also allow you to meet a welcoming people with an unprecedented culture. Initially inhabited by Asians, followed by Arabs and finally Africans from the eastern part of the continent, the Madagascan land has welcomed a mosaic of peoples who have modelled a unique culture. As a result, their present culture is oriented towards the worship of ancestors and towards orality, where traditional singing, poetry and music are prominent...

The area covered by this group of volcanic mountains, which range from 2,800 ft to 4,850 ft in height, is a prime example of a moist evergreen forest environment.
This national park contains six crater lakes, amongst which is Lac Maudit, where a pair of Madagascan fish eagles can sometimes be found living, The eagle is the island's largest bird of prey, with a wingspan that can reach over seven feet. 
Among the large trees to be found here are the ramy, which smells like turpentine and has pharmaceutical uses; the rotra, whose fruits are absolutely adored by the local lemurs; and the fig trees, which have marvelous climbing orchids on them. In fact, something for you to visit and see in the north of Madagascar is the specially created "Path of a Thousand Trees", which brings together a large number of the country's various native species in one place.
Getting back to superlatives, Amber Mountain is home to the brown mouse lemur, which at just 50 grams in weight is the world's smallest primate, and calumma crypticum, the world's smallest chameleon!
