Madagascar was everything I had imagined it to be. Remote, unspoilt, beautiful and a surprise around every corner!
The trekking was tough, but the constantly changing views, and keeping an eye out for lemurs that could appear at any moment, made it all worthwhile!

As a charity, we rely solely on your generosity and kindness to enable us to go on caring for cats and kittens. Our international challenges are the perfect way to challenge yourself and raise money to help cats in need while making unforgettable memories. Just imagine that sense of achievement when you reach both summits, knowing you’ve raised an incredible £4,700 towards giving many cats and kittens a second chance at life.
