Otherworldly Madagascar with its many ethnic groups, a graceful and humorous people. Travel along the mountainous central highland roads passing pink and ochre homes made from the red island earth, the lush tropical greens of the east with its abundance of fruits and spices the air heavy with scent, heading south nature becomes harsh with sunburnt yellows and browns the sea here is a deep azure and is life giving to the vezo who fish these waters. There is always something to see on the road less travelled on this colourful island.
