Finally, we\u2019re off again! This time, we won\u2019t be meeting up on the domestic flight, but before – as soon as all expedition participants arrive in Antananarivo. Our expeditions usually start with a \u2018buffer day\u2019 when domestic flights are scheduled immediately after arrival. This is because flights in Madagascar aren\u2019t always reliable, and delays are the rule rather than the exception. And that\u2019s why we\u2019re doing the same this time: a buffer day between flights. But this can be put to good use to visit a nature reserve just 65 km from the capital. Not a particularly long drive, beautiful chameleons and a small but lovely rainforest. A good first day and a gentle start to our Madagascar adventure.<\/p>\n

Tip: It’s best to open it on YouTube, click on “Full screen” in the bottom right-hand corner, and set the settings cog under “Quality” to HD!<\/p>\n
