Ankarana National Park
Madagascar
ANKARANA NATIONAL PARK
The landscape is extraordinary and dramatic in this limestone massif,
with its fields of razor sharp pinnacles called tsingy. Below, the massif
is pierced by caves and canyons. Between sheer cliffs, sunken tropical
deciduous forests harbour rare wildlife. The reserve is known for its
large concentrations of crowned, Sanford’s and sportive lemurs,
as well as ringtailed mongoose, fosa, tenrecs and Madagascar striped civet.
There is good birding and prolific reptile and invertebrate life. There
are few trails in the reserve, vehicular access is limited to the dry
season, and accommodation is in campsites.
