If you are looking for a unique experience, Madagascar is one of the weirdest and most wonderful countries you are ever likely to visit. It is probably best known for its lemur populations, of which the comical ring-tails and dancing sifakas are the most iconic. There are in fact more than 50 lemur species and more are being discovered regularly – for example, a new nocturnal mouse lemur was discovered as recently as June 2006.
