Madagascar, a plush and awe inspiring island located off the south east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, is home to not only the famous Lemur and Baobab Tree, but a uniquely diverse wild life as well. Home to over 250,000 species with 70% of them found only on the island, Madagascar.

Referred to as the Red Island due to its large amount of red soil, and considered the forth largest island in the world, Madagascar celebrates its 49th year anniversary of colonial freedom from France on June 26th.
