Maroantsetra Madagascar
Masoala National Park and Nosy Mangabe Island
The recently gazetted Masoala National Park, east of the town Maroantsetra,
protects the largest remaining Malagasy lowland rainforest. In some places,
rainforest extends unbroken down to the sea. The Masoala peninsula, much
of which remains unexplored, contains a bewildering diversity of plants
and animals. In the Bay of Antongil, the uninhabited island reserve of
Nosy Mangabe is a stronghold for the ruffed and white-fronted lemurs and
the bizarre aye aye. Nosy Mangabe's reptilian denizens include the fringed
(leaf-tailed) gecko.
Only campsites provide accommodation in Masoala and Nosy Mangabe.
