4.5Analamazaotra Special Reserve(94 reviews) - Another great park close to Vakona - can be busy Spent 2-3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas • Parks • Forests
We visited this park whilst staying at Vakona Lodge. Out guide purchased the tickets and arranged the local park guide for us, to start with we found it quite busy with lots of other people all trying to watch and follow the same lemurs. However as our walk progressed everyone seem to head off in different directions and the second half of our walk was much quieter. We spent around 3.5-4 hours in the park & saw numerous types of birds, Sifaka lemurs, brown lemurs and Indri lemurs. Hearing the indri song up close was amazing and by this point it was just us and our guides! We also had a young lady with us that was a trainee guide, she lives in the local village and is training to be licensed as a national park guide - great to see and hear about the initiatives in place to introduce and teach the new generations about the wildlife around them.See more..
3.5Vohimana must be VOIMMA(4 reviews) - Great Park run by the community. Do not miss!! Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails • Forests
We spent a full day visiting Vohimana Park. The life and the landscape of the park was amazing. You start by crossing the railroad to arrive to the Vohimana Visitor Center, where you can actually stay overnight. The views from there are amazing, sorrounded by a waterfall and a very beautiful valley. Then, we continued the trek from there spotting different chamaleons and a lot of birds. We even had the chance to see the beetle giraffe. We would recommend this park to everyone and of you have the time, to spend a night there.See more..
