Madagascar, an island nation off the southeast coast of Africa, is a dream destination for wildlife enthusiasts. This unique landmass, separated from the mainland millions of years ago, has given rise to an extraordinary array of flora and fauna, with over 90% of its wildlife being endemic.

One of the island’s most iconic inhabitants is the lemur. These charismatic primates are not found anywhere else on Earth, and their diverse species range from the tiny mouse lemur to the striking indri. A visit to reserves like Andasibe or Ranomafana offers a chance to see these creatures in their natural habitat, leaping through the treetops and filling the air with their distinctive calls.

Madagascar’s biodiversity extends beyond its famous lemurs. The island is home to a variety of unique reptiles, including the vibrantly colored chameleons and the peculiar leaf-tailed gecko, masters of camouflage. Birdwatchers can also rejoice, as Madagascar boasts over 100 bird species that are found nowhere else, like the Madagascar fish eagle and the long-tailed ground roller.

The island’s diverse ecosystems, from rainforests to dry spiny forests, are a haven for nature lovers. Exploring these environments, expect a world that has evolved in isolation, creating a living showcase of evolution. Each step in Madagascar offers a new discovery, a testament to the island’s miraculous natural heritage.

In recent years, Panama has become something of a forerunner in the world of “eco-travel—a type of travel that seeks out the majestic power of nature in environmentally sustainable hotels. Let’s take a look at some of the best eco retreats in Panama.

Canopy Lodge

This ecolodge is a bird watchers paradise. Its minimalist design integrates the natural environment and features a well-stocked library, bird guides and day trips.

Gamboa Rainforest Resort

In this resort, you can drink in the feel of the rainforest while chilling by the pool and using the full-service spar. If you want to get a bit more involved, you can take guided tours of the forest, jungle boat cruises, and an aerial tram ride.

La Loma Jungle Lodge

This is probably the lodge that integrates you with nature the most. You sleep in open-air thatched-roof bungalows with forest canopies and sweeping wildlife views. You can also take guided nature tours, eat organic meals, and visit the on-site butterfly farm.

Cana Field Station

Located in the wildest and most remote region of Panama is the Cana Field Station, one of the best bird-watching sites in the world. It is a little rustic, with shared bathrooms and communal meals, but is the most integrative of bird watching destinations.

If there is one place in Africa that any bird lover absolutely must visit, it must be Lake Nakuru in Kenya. Located in the Great Rift Valley, this lake is exceptionally shallow, with an average depth of only one foot, but it contains a vast wealth of natural life that makes it a paradise for bird lovers.

One of the main attractions that any visitor to Lake Nakuru is certain to see is flamingos. These bright pink birds are always hanging out on the edge of and in the lake in search of food. It turns out that the shallow water is the perfect place for them to dip their beaks into the water and find algae to eat.

Flamingos aren’t the only birds that you can find at Lake Nakuru, however. While the docile flamingos at the lake feed on algae, it’s also common to see predatory birds such as cormorants and pelicans diving into the water in search for a fish to eat.

These beautiful animals, in combination with the flamingos, create a fascinating panorama of avian life. Lake Nakuru has been acclaimed as one of the richest environments for large birds on Earth.

If you find yourself traveling in Kenya, be sure to take time to visit Lake Nakuru and marvel at its fascinating bird life.
