Madagascar is located between the Indien Ocean and the Mozambique Channel. It is the fourth largest island in the world after Groenland, New-Guinea and Borneo(Kalimatan). It is also dubbed the Continent Island. It is 1. 580 Km long from North to South and 580 km wide from est to west with 4. 828 km of shoreline. The highest peak reaches 2837 m.

Separated from Gondwana some thousand years ago, Madagascar is in the shape of a left foot and can therefore be easily spotted on the world map.

Thanks to its extremely diversified geography, the island boasts several micro-climates from one région to another, which accounts for an amazing diversity of scenery, taking you from sem-desertic land to tropical rain forest.

Successive gological phenomena have left impresive landscapes and staggering remains such as the stone forest known as Tsingy, as well as the canyons of Isalo formed by laterite rocks from the Jurassic era.
