Madagascar, off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, is the world's 4th largest island. The island split from the Indian peninsula around 88 millioon years ago. 90% of its animal and plant life is endemic.
The southeastern trade winds and northwestern monsoons produce a hot rainy season from November to April with frequent cyclones, and a relatively cooler dry season from May to October. We visited Madagascar in December 2015 during the summer wet season. We returned during the winter dry season in July 2017 and again in August 2019.
