Lonely Planet writer Emilie Filou describes why she loves Madagascar. "Madagascar is unlike anywhere else I have been to - fantastically beautiful, amazingly diverse for its size (similar to France) and surprisingly resistant to change. Nothing comes easy, save perhaps a chat with the locals madagascar is undoubtedly one of the friendliest places I've been to. That's why I keep coming back. Plus the fact that after a day of bumping around in a dusty 4WD, or fighting off leeches on muddy trails, you can be served a meal worthy of a fine-dining restaurant anywhere in the world, capped with exquisite rum - that's definetly my kind of travel!"
