Madagaskara ir salu valsts Indijas okeānā, Āfrikas austrumu piekrastē, kuru no Austrumāfrikas nodala Mozambikas šaurums. Tuvākā kontinentālā kaimiņvalsts ir Mozambika, kas atrodas uz rietumiem no Madagaskaras. Austrumos atrodas Reinjona un Maurīcija, ziemeļaustrumos Seišelas, bet ziemeļrieumos Komoras un Majota. Madagaskara ir lielākā salu valsts, kas aizņem vienu salu (ceturtā lielākā sala pasaulē). Sala izveidojās, atdaloties no superkontinenta Gondvānas pirms 88 miljoniem gadu. Madagaskarā ir bagātīga un īpatnēja augu un dzīvnieku valsts — var atrast 5% no visām pasaules augu un dzīvnieku sugām, no kurām 80% ir endēmi. Salas ekosistēmu apdraud strauji augošais cilvēku skaits. Madagaskaras galvaspilsēta un lielākā pilsēta ir Antananarivu.

Apraksts[edit | edit source]

Reģioni[edit | edit source]

Antananarivu province
The capital is the arrival point for many visitors, and the hub of the domestic airline and land transport routes. Outside of the capital are small towns known for their craft workshops, as well as small reserves that are home to lemurs.

Ancirananas province
Home to the beautiful tropical island of Nosy Be, and its surrounding sub-islands, this region is where most travellers go for upscale resorts and pristine beaches, and is one of the most popular destinations in the entire country.

Fianaranco province
The area south of the capital is home to rain forests and mountains, and relatively accessible via RN7.

Mahadzangas province
Mahajanga is home to impressive wetlands and some hidden resorts that can be reached only by private plane or boat.

Tomasinas province
This province is home to Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, where the Indri lemurs sing, and to some less-visited destinations along the eastern coast.

Tuliaras province
The southern portion of the country is the land of the spiny forest, with hot and dry conditions leading to an environment of harsh vegetation that is nevertheless home to a vast array of lemurs, lizards, birds and insects.
