The transition period begins in May. Rainfall becomes less frequent and temperatures are pleasantly mild. In April and until mid-May, nature is still green before the landscape slowly changes to shades of brown and yellow.<\/p>\n
\"The period up to the end of June is ideal for botanical discoveries and trekking,\" says Klaus. The central highlands and the south in particular offer spectacular landscapes. From the end of June, it gets noticeably cooler in the highlands, which is particularly pleasant for active vacationers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nTravel time June to August: Winter and high season - popular travel time for wildlife spotting<\/h2>\n
\"Winter in Madagascar attracts many tourists,\" explains Klaus. While temperatures drop to 10-20\u00b0C in the central highlands, it remains warm enough for beach vacations on the coasts. In the rainforest, however, it can drizzle unpleasantly.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Whale watching<\/strong>Humpback whales with their calves can be seen around Sainte Marie and on the Mozambique Channel.<\/li>\n
- Pleasantly cool temperatures<\/strong>Perfect for exploring the highlands and national parks.<\/li>\n
- High season<\/strong>However, these months bring higher prices and more operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\nTravel time September to December: The start of summer - the best time to travel for nature and animal lovers<\/h2>\n
The months of September to December are characterized by mild weather, rising temperatures and awakening nature. \"October is one of the best times to visit Madagascar, especially in the east of the island,\" says Klaus. This is the start of the main season for rainforest tours and wildlife spotting.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Animal observations<\/strong>Lemurs, chameleons and other animals are very active.<\/li>\n
