Lokobe Nature Special Reserve

Reviewed By tjfc66 - Kenya, null

We went via canoe with Jean Robert’s team and had a fascinating time as we saw several rare and endemic creatures, such as two different Pygmy chameleons (I think) on the two hour forest walk, along with several snakes, several lemurs quite close up. The lunch at the end was also splendid and very well prepared. Highly recommended.

Ankarana Special Reserve

Reviewed By huys25 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The limestone Tsingy from Madagascar are without exception one of the most spectacular features of the country, all worth visiting. Here only a short walk and two bridges over the Tsingy are the basic route. Behind the bridge you can walk another circuit, we did not do. The large cave is interesting. The underground river that disappears is more interesting. Pity that you cannot go down and explore the tunnel for some distance. In the park, near the entrance we had a nice pick-nick lunch supplied by the hotel Chez Laurent, in the company of a few curious lemurs.

Nosy Tanikely

Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States

Nosy Tanikely is a little gem, especially if you walk up to the lighthouse (and away from the tourists on the beach), and has been my favorite scuba diving surface interval to date. Went diving with Scuba Nosy Be (which I highly recommend), and hanging out on the island was our surface interval! Walking to and from the lighthouse we saw hermit crabs galore, lizards, geckos, and lemurs! The view from the lighthouse (which you can go inside and to the top of) is beautiful.

Tsingy Rouge Park

Reviewed By CorradoR964 - Vedano al Lambro, Italy

This park is located about 1.5 hrs drive from Diego Suarez. It features amazing rock formations, that have been carved by water and wind over time. Due to the richness of minerals, they have wonderful colors, visible in the different ground layers. Superspectacular is the canyon view, really breathtaking

Montagne des Francais

Reviewed By travelmartin - Munich, Germany

Getting to the beginning of the hike from the city is easy and can be done by tuk-tuk. Most people go there to see the Baobab trees. We were three persons and just fitted in at the back of the vehicle. The entrance fee is a fairly steep 20.000 Ariary, the guide fee the same but could be shared among the three of us. The rates must have gone up considerably in the last year or so. We were the only ones on the trip despite it being a Sunday morning. The first part is open country and quite hot. The second part has forest cover and gets close to rock faces. The tunnel with 600 comfortable steps is quite spectacular (the tunnel ceiling in the dark part is quite low, torchlights are not needed, as the section is not too long). The 360 degree view from the observation platform on top offers greast views of Diego Bay and surroundings. We

Nosy Sakatia

Reviewed By jaykay911 - Johannesburg, South Africa

Did a day excursion from our hotel to this beautiful island.We took a boat trip to the island and spent the morning snorkeling from the boat.We swam with the giant turtles which was such fun.There are lots of them around and one gets to swim very close up to them.What a great experience.The part of the island where we were did not really have coral and there was basically no fish to see.One comes here to see the turtles only.We ate lunch on a private beach on Nosy Sakatia which was lovely and then snorkelled and relaxed before the boat trip back to our hotel.A must to do when staying at Nosy Be.
