and of contrasts, multi-faced, magic and mysterious, from Southern deserts to the High Lands' hills, the amateur of adventures and discovery will find it uneasy to chose. Speleology, climbing, canoeing,
rafting, bike, paragliding and other adventure sports, can be practised on this huge and spectacular playground, with tropical colours and in a cinemascope's atmosphere and decor style.

An expedition in Madagascar is unforgettable ! Apart from some classical tours, everything is to be done.
If there has been speleology since the beginning of the colonization, games on living waters and on the rocks only begin to gather adepts. We must aknowledge that the ground is rather good for such activities.

Varied landscapes and climates, generally welcoming people.

In fact, the main problem is logistics ! The trails are often in a disastrous condition and a long-distance trek must include a procession of porters, carts heavily loaded with equipment, powerful 4-wheel drive vehicles and a good knowledge of the ground. Each tour takes quickly the appearances of an expedition, but it is the price to discover fantastic spots. Launching new routes - pleasure getting too unusual in Europe, has something exciting, unique.

To turn up in villages where they have forgotten the last visit of a «Mompera Vazaha» (European priest), like extra-earthlings, arousing fear and curiosity, then after the «fomba» (tradition), have a drink, between men from different cultures, it is wonderful.
