    Analamazaotra Special Reserve image
    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.

    V.O.I.M.M.A. Community Reserve image
    Well maintained trails really help the trek through the forest to see the creatures. Lemur of course are the stars but do not overlook the other critters. Frogs, insects, chameleon and even a snake. Three hours just about wore me out but so worth it. Do not miss this one. See more..

  8. 4.5 Nosy Mangabe Special Reserve (21 reviews)
    - The Paradize for naturalist
    Islands • Nature & Wildlife Areas
    Nosy Mangabe Special Reserve image
    Nosy Mangabe is a historical place! It was the refuge for the pirates during the silk road and the slave trade! At present time, Nosy Mangabe is a protected area that often considered as part of Masoala National Park. In terms of distance, Nosy Mangabe is one hour from Maroantsetra while Masoala is about two hours and half by boat. It is a good place to see the aye-aye if you have the authorization to stay there at night. During the day time, it is a quite place with nice beach. Animals are easier to find in Nosy Mangabe as it is an island but the trail is relatively more challenging. See more..
