Madagascar is an island nation located off the coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. The rainy season is December through March, but even during this time the rains are not constant and one can enjoy a fabulous journey. The conditions are temperate year round – warm during the day and cooling off at night. Ideal times to visit are April through mid-November, with October being the warmest. Whales can be viewed in July & August, particularly up in the Masoala, and lemurs are viewed yearround in the many parks and reserves throughout Madagascar.
