Rewild and Wildlife Madagascar invite travelers to experience highly unique wildlife while actively participating in meaningful conservation efforts
High Point, North Carolina – June 3, 2025 – Rewild Safaris today announced a first-of-its-kind bespoke conservation safari experience, “The Lost Continent: Finding Madagascar,” that plunges adventure travelers into Madagascar’s otherworldly ecosystem while also driving support for conservation efforts that protect the island’s unique wildlife. Crafted in partnership with nonprofit organization Wildlife Madagascar, the 14-day expedition combines once-in-a-lifetime wildlife sightings with hands-on habitat restoration and rare access to the country’s least-explored parks.
“Madagascar feels like Earth’s unofficial evolution laboratory, with 90 percent of its wildlife and plant life living nowhere else on Earth,” said James Ward, Chief Exploration Officer at Rewild Safaris. “‘The Lost Continent: Finding Madagascar’ gives our guests a front-row seat to some of the planet’s most specialized wildlife, while actively helping to protect and preserve it. Roughly 70 percent of the animal species on Madagascar are endangered, and this is a travel experience that works to protect them in real time.”
The Lost Continent Expedition opens with a welcome dinner hosted by Wildlife Madagascar, setting the tone for the conservation-focused journey ahead. The following day, travelers head into the lush Anjozorobe-Angavo corridor for encounters with Indri, Diademed sifaka, and other lemurs. Evening flashlight walks reveal mouse lemurs, leaf-tailed geckos, and chameleons, while a hands-on reforestation project lets guests plant native trees alongside local villagers.
Midway through the adventure, travelers gain rare access to remote Namoroka National Park, overnighting at Tsingy Camp to navigate stunning limestone labyrinths and track the endangered Van der Decken’s sifaka. Underground cave forays expose ancient giant-lemur fossils, and field days with Wildlife Madagascar conservation experts provide a behind-the-scenes look at ongoing research and habitat-protection work across three active sites.
The finale heads south to the sacred Spiny Forest, where ring-tailed lemurs and Verreaux’s sifaka patrol. Guests immerse in Tandroy village life, share Malagasy dance beneath star-strewn skies, and toast fiery sunsets among towering, alien-like Baobao groves, with local dance, storytelling, and sundowners.
“This itinerary bridges wonder and stewardship,” said Debra Erickson, Executive Director at Wildlife Madagascar. “Every guest directly funds and personally advances the research and habitat restoration that keep Madagascar’s irreplaceable species alive for future generations.” Space is limited.
