Location Of Madagascar
Madagascar, the fourth-largest island in the world, lies in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Mozambique. It includes several much smaller islands. A central chain of high mountains, the Hauts Plateaux, occupies more than half of the main island and is responsible for the marked differences & #8211; ethnically, climatically and scenically & #8211; between the east and west coasts. The capital, Antananarivo, is high up in the Hauts Plateaux near the island’s centre.

Airports
Antananarivo international airport is 11 miles from the city.

Language
The two official languages are Malagasy and French. Very little English is spoken.
