Madagascarย is the worldโ€™s oldest island, and an amazing place for exploring, due to itโ€™s unique flora and fauna that have evolved over millions of years. ย 

Itโ€™s the only place in the world where lemurs live, and it has a number of jaw-dropping natural wonders found only there. Take the stone forest, or Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve, which has been formed over millennia.

Itโ€™s razor-sharp, jagged peaks are otherworldly, and a visit there will transport you to a beautifully foreign land that juts out of the landscape like an eruption.

It was formed by rain slowly washing down itโ€™s peaks to dagger like points. Itโ€™s fair to say you donโ€™t want to fall while exploring this beautifully dangerous outcropping.

Great Big Storyย has a lovely little look at this amazing place. Take a look.
