Madagascar Honeymoon
Ninety percent of
Madagascar's animals are found nowhere else in the world; it's a hotbed
of biodiversity that's rapidly disappearing as a result of
deforestation. Tourism is underdeveloped on the world's fourth-largest
island, so it's not a destination for the faint of heart. But if you're
interested in exploring some of the most unique landscapes and
environments in the world, head for Madagascar's many parks. Several
companies offer guided tours, including the Earthwatch Institute.

Institute
The Earthwatch Institute matches
travelers looking for a unique volunteer experience with researchers
looking for field volunteers. Earthwatch regularly sponsors research
projects in Madagascar; this link will take you to their Africa page,
where you can search for specific expeditions. While this is a "working
vacation," most Earthwatch expeditions allow plenty of free time—and
tend to be considerably cheaper than comparable tours.
