Kirindy Forest Morondava Madagascar, Toliara Province, Madagascar

Great Bushwalking, Wildlife Viewing
I done this as a half day excursion from Morondava, leaving at 0430 - this allowed me to be at the Avenue of the Boababs on sunrise, and get deep into the forest before the temperature got too hot. Was in the forest (as in out of the car bush walking) for about 2 hours and saw a huge amount of wildlife running free; several species of lemurs, snakes, spiders, iguanas, lizards, etc... Wish I had a camera better than my old iPhone.! I missed so many good photos... Tips for you; 1) use a guide from Camp Amourex to escort you round (or you might not come back out). The guide I had, also knew where to look for the little Mouse Lemurs. 2) avoid the midday heat. 3) start early, so as to catch the sunrise at the Avenue of the Boababs.

Dancing lemurs
I came here to see the "Dancing Lemurs" and I was pleasantly surprised by seeing many. And so close too. Had a chameleon eat his lunch in front on me and saw any amounts of wildlife non my trek guided by a very capable guide who was very knowledgeable. His English was better than my Malagasy! Well worth the visit and we managed to get through with a 4wd during this year's rainy season.

Interesting to see the Fosa out in the open
This place is known as the best place o see the fosa during the dry season. Of course, you can see also different species of lemurs, and birds. We recommend to visit it in two times : nightwalk and day time visit It is possible to see the jumping rats in some season about midnight. This visit can be arranged with your guide after the nightwalk and most of the time it is not included into the package that tour operators propose. For the room, you can opt for bungalows. Camping is not safe as there were some probleme with the fosa in the past. Dormitory is not a good option at all. We recommend to opt for bungalows. The Relais de Kirindy wich is on the main road offers better quality of bungalows in higher price of course.
