Travel Guide

#OnTheRoad , off the road, on the bridge, off the bridge! Two vehicles on a single track bridge don’t fit. The N4 is a long long road from the north of Madagascar down to the capital Antananarivo and the airport home. We were the wrong side of this accident with a flight to catch. This is were our driver and 4-wheeled drive were invaluable. Before we knew it, he was off across the river with our kids in the back, past the other vehicles already stuck in the rocks, and up the other side! This left my husband and I to slip off our shoes and wade across while watched by the whole village who thought it was hilarious.

Bemaraha, Madagascar
The critically endangered Blue-Eyed Black Lemur in the wild. Only the males are black. This was a lone pair of females that were not part of a larger group. We were also fortunate enough to see a group of 12 about 30 minutes later. This area of Madagascar is so poor that any money from tourism helps support the conservation efforts. There were no English speaking guides so our driver came with us to translate. #Lemurs #Madagascar
