Isalo National Park

Madagascar

Isalo National Park
A landscape of sandstone rocks cut by canyons and eroded into extraordinary shapes, much of Isalo remains sacred to the Bara tribe. There are old burial sites in the caves of canyon walls. The elephant’s foot plant is the emblem of this reserve. It grows on the cliffs, blooms in late winter and represents the drought-resistant life forms that survive in this habitat. The imposing ruiniforme rock formations, the natural pools, and the lush, lemur-inhabited stream banks make Isalo a great hiking venue.
In the transition forest of the new Zombitse Forest National Park, an hour’s drive from Isalo, birders can see many localised species. The colourful tombs of Andranovory are further along the same road (RN7).
