MADAGASCAR: Guest Post by Karen Minkowski

Red-fronted brown lemur, Madagascar

My friend Karen Minkowski, a frequent contributor to The Intrepid Tourist and definitely an intrepid traveler, is currently in Africa, a place that she has visited often. She writes:

As well protected from Covid as I could be, I decided it was time to return to southern Africa.  When I called my friend who lives in Zimbabwe and told her “I’m ready”, she said “Great, how about joining us in Madagascar first”?  Madagascar had never called to me, but without giving it two seconds’ thought I said “Yes!”.  I’m happy that I did. We saw landscapes and wildlife that were completely new to me and enjoyed many amazing experiences.

A full report of Karen's trip to Madagascar, filled with her wonderful photographs, is HERE  Just click to download the PDF. Karen's report is filled with incredible close-ups of lemurs, lizards, birds and other unique Madagascar wildlife as well as pictures of her tour group visiting Tsingis de Bemaraha National Park, where you have to cross a rope bridge to reach the other side, remote villages of the Zafimanairy people, and other World Heritage sites. Karen's text makes you feel as if you are a vicarious visitor to Madagascar. Enjoy!
