Journeys of July 21: Madagascar

This island just sounds so African and tropical. There's something movie like about it (see what I did there?), but it's like the epitome of Africa, the stereotypical Africa that most people think of.

There's a lot of wildlife and nature to see here.

Firstly, these cool trees...Avenue of the Baobabs

There are quite a few other parks to check out there as well, depending on how much time you have, and whether you are more interested in the landscape or the animals.
