Madagascar is the world’s second largest island nation, with spectacularly diverse landscapes. Many visitors book a guided tour of the highlights with transport included, but it’s also ...

And while Madagascar’s natural beauty is off the charts, so are its insects - so don’t forget your insect repellent (it’s a must-pack essential).

You can find these trees in Africa, India, Australia, and beyond. But in my mind, I directly associate them with Madagascar, an island nation off the East Coast of Africa.
