Track lemurs in Madagascar, celebrate Orthodox Easter in Greece and more

Leapin' lemurs! If you want to see these cute and unusual primates, Madagascar is the place to go. The island nation is home to more than 100 varieties of lemur, and Natural Habitat Adventures offers a 13-day/12-night tour that promises lemurs galore in this biologically diverse destination. Four national parks and a private nature reserve are on the itinerary, and the lemur population ranges from ring-tails to indri _ the largest lemur _ and tiny mouse lemurs that may be seen on guided night walks. To maximize the experience, these tours are limited to 10 or 11 people, and three of the departure dates are designated as special photo tours. Private chartered flights are used for getting about the large island with a minimum of time spent traveling, and accommodations are in boutique ecolodges. Getting up close with the unique flora and fauna isn't cheap, though, with pricing starting at $9,995 per person, double occupancy. The internal flights will add another $2,000, and international air is additional. Info: 800-543-8917, http://tinyurl.com/yak99fbt
