Réunion Travel & Games: A cozy-gaming detour is making waves for island fans: MAFATE, a Réunion-inspired life-and-action adventure where you hike to deliver letters to isolated communities, is being pitched as a fresh alternative while Animal Crossing: New Horizons waits for its next Switch 2-era instalment. Madagascar Holidays: Rainbow Tours has rolled out a new 24-page Madagascar brochure, adding twin-centre trips for 2027 and enhancing existing routes, with a strong focus on wildlife, regional highlights, and accommodation options plus a “Money for Madagascar” page that funds community-led projects (and triggers a donation for every booking). Twin-Centre Itineraries: New pairings include South Africa Big Five safari + Madagascar Lemurs (14 nights from £7,195 pp sharing, flights included) and Madagascar + Réunion Island (18 nights from £7,075), alongside established Madagascar/Mauritius and Madagascar/Seychelles plans. Safety & Nature: A new global study on fatal coastal cliff failures finds most tragedies happen in summer when beaches are busiest, and notes Réunion Island among locations appearing in the dataset—raising fresh attention on cliff-backed tourist beaches and seasonal risk. Urban Heat in the Tropics: Research highlights that urban heat islands can worsen hot-humid conditions, and warns that funding gaps leave many tropical cities unable to cool effectively—an issue made more urgent as El Niño strengthens and record temperatures loom.
