About Madagascar

Madagascar is an island country in the Indian Ocean, approximately 400 kilometres off the east coast of Africa.

Madagascar is the world’s 2nd largest island country, and fourth largest island in the world.

Madagascar split from the Indian subcontinent around 88 million years ago, allowing native plants and animals to evolve in relative isolation. As a result, Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot; over 90% of its wildlife is found nowhere else on Earth.

The island gained independence from France in 1960. Madagascar is a member of the United Nations (UN), the African Union (AU), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie.

Malagasy and French are both official languages. The majority of the population of approximately 26 million people, adheres to traditional beliefs, Christianity, or a combination of both. Its economy is based on tourism, agriculture, mining and textiles.

It has a diverse range of landscapes that are unique and unspoilt in many respects.
