Madagascar
A large island in the Indian Ocean off the south-eastern tip of Africa, Madagascar has historic connections with France and Britain but is now an independent state. One of the main agricultural products of Madagascar is vanilla and Coca Cola is an important customer and trading partner. The geographical separation of Madagascar from Africa has allowed numerous species of plants and animals to thrive in isolation and many are not found anywhere else in natural habitats. The port of Taomasina on the east coast is main entry point for seaborne travellers arriving from Mauritius or Reunion. Read more on Madagascar
