WOW! This is it!.. my 2008 expedition to Madagascar.

http://focusonplanetearth.org/expeditions/africa_expedition_018.html

Madagascar is truly the Land of Enchantment, a world out of this world. More than 85% of its flora and fauna are endemic -- found nowhere else. Lemurs are beyond adorable and very easy to see and photograph. There are also chameleons, frogs, birds beyond count, and plant life like you have never seen. The Malagasy people are charming and culturally fascinating, and the land itself is gorgeous. Check it out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar

I have worked in Madagascar since 1996, photographing under grants from the Duke Primate Center, the Margot Marsh Foundation, and National Geographic, producing articles, lectures and a segment for NG's internationally aired series Wild Chronicles. Our expedition this September will be my seventh trip to this wondrous land, and I cannot wait to share it with you. I have selected the itinerary to both challenge you and comfort you. You will have a clean bed and shower every night, and good food. We will walk a lot, but on good trails. We will have an active night life; that is, we will go out at night with flash lights to see the many, many nocturnal critters including Aye-aye, mouse lemurs, frogs, astounding insects, and if we are very, very lucky, the cat-like fossa. When we are in Tana, staying at the old French colonial rendezvous, Le Colbert, we may find another type night life.

I will be supplying the "enrichment" as well as assistance with your photography. My husband, Nicholas Petrucci, will be videoing, sketching and photographing as well. He will assist with your non-photography art, if you want. We both will be doing everything possible to make your journey the best ever!

The trip is being organized to my specifications by David Anderson Safaris. David has been in business for many years, winning many awards along the way. I had the privilege of accompanying him to Tanzania some years ago, and then, as now, his focus is on conservation and photography along with a world class wilderness experience.
