Madagascar is a remarkable place and this talk takes us through the central and eastern region, trekking in the rainforest to spot some of the 100+ species of lemurs both in the mountains and down to the coast. Exploring different environment for totally different collections of lemur species.

We found the tiny mouse lemur, the rare eye-eye and the indri with its haunting call amongst many others.

Finally we ended up on a small island off the east coast of Madagascar to see the humpback whales performing their spectacular breaching.

The talk is illustrated with photographs, video and the sounds of the lemurs. It is timed at 1 hour but can be adjusted if required.
