Beyond the isolated world of Mauritius, explore the mysterious magic of Madagascar

The beginning of a slow life—Mauritius
With an excited heart, you take off from Taiwan in the evening and arrive at the Pearl of the Indian Ocean—Mauritius—the next morning.

A country with distinct seasons. Daytime temperatures generally range between 26-28 degrees, making it ideal holiday weather. With bright sunshine, crystal-clear waters, emerald lakes, and white sandy beaches, Mauritius has captivated global tourists with its world-renowned beauty for three hundred years. This tropical paradise in southeastern Africa is mesmerizing and unforgettable. In Mauritius’s luxury hotels, the discerning tastes of European elites are fully satisfied. Whether it’s thrilling land and water activities or quietly reading a novel on the beach, every minute here makes you feel the essence of aristocratic hospitality, as if you’ve arrived on an isolated, wealthy yet elegantly refined French island.

A colorful island drifting in the ocean—Madagascar

Located in the southwestern Indian Ocean, Madagascar faces the African continent across the Mozambique Channel. It is the world’s fourth-largest island, with a beautiful coastline stretching 5,000 kilometers in total. The entire island is composed of volcanic rock, and from the air, it looks like a colorful island drifting in the ocean.

Here, 70% of the species cannot be found anywhere else. That’s why the globally popular animated film Madagascar caused a worldwide “Madagascar fever” that continues to this day. Madagascar, officially known as the Republic of Madagascar, is an island nation in southeastern Africa, consisting of one large island and several smaller ones.

Unique species that amaze

The island is home to 5% of the world’s animal and plant species, 80% of which are unique to Madagascar (endemic species), such as lemurs and Angonoka tortoises. These plants and animals have evolved independently for millions of years after the island separated from Africa and India, and they are found only in very limited areas.

Madagascar blends the flavors of three different continents—Asia, Africa, and Europe—thus forming a unique and distinctive culture.

The country has 13,000 plant species, most of which are endemic. The Grandidier’s baobab is one of the six unique baobab species on the island. There are also 50 species of lemurs on the island, over 20 of which are endangered, such as the silky sifaka. In addition, two-thirds of the world’s chameleons are found here. Of the island’s 373 frog species, 99% are endemic, including the critically endangered painted mantella found only in the central highlands.
