Perfect place to see various spices of lemurs in one place. When i have arrived on Madagascar i was thinking that lemurs will jump all around. It’s not like that. So if you want to see them in something that’s most close to natural environment, this is place to go. And guides are very good and helpful. Without explanation it will be just half of experience.

Our guide shows us a huge array of chameleons, lots very large and colourful and some so small. With such an array it was difficult to concentrate of specific ones. The Variety is so good that I spent a long time filming and even have a clip of two chameleons mating. Unfortunately, the female chameleon was discarded off the tree on the ground.

A short taxi or bus ride from the airport, this beautiful nature haven is a break from the city. Huge numbers of gigantic crocs sunbathe and swim in wide open spaces. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with endemic plants and trees. The restaurant offers grilled crocodile which is now my new favorite meat. Entrance fee with meal is 45,000 ariary. A little pricey but is well worth it.

It was absolutely worth the trip out of town to see Lily Waterfall. We biked out to the Waterfall from Ampefy and it was somewhat challenging, but the ride back was quite difficult. We went to the waterfall on the road that is close to the Eucalyptus Hotel (way to go by car). We went back to Ampefy on the road that let's out at the bridge in town. It was a difficult ride on the rutted up road, but worth it.

A guide is now obligatory, even though the walk around the lake is not that difficult to find. The lake is very nice turquoise color, formed according to our guide not that long ago in geological terms. Still, it seems assumed that the volcano is no longer active. Have a look from the rim to the surrounding area, you can easily see the black soil, much more fertile, from the last eruption. Then walk down to the lake and around the crater lake. There is a place where one can touch the water, but only if you did not yet eat pork that day. Nearby is also a place were locals still sacrifice things to the lake, which is considered holy. During our walk we saw several birds, including a peregrine falcon. The trees are European conifers, and thus not at all local, still the place is pittoresque. Bring good shoes as some parts could be slippery. Further, although it is possible to bike up to the lake, that is an arduous trek up hill (and it is hot), without much scenery along the way.

Suddenly the driver turns of from RN2 and after 150 meters we arrive to a small "valley" where there are some buildings which have seen better days. The guide takes you through a 1 hour tour which you never will forgot if you have some basic-medium knowledge of Chameleon/Geckos. Cage after cage he opens and shows an amazing Madagascar selection of Chameleons and Geckos. Never though I would see a Brookesia Minima in real for example!! This was heaven for us and the guide where very knowledge about everything. I really liked the ruff style of this park where the focus was the animals - not the cages!! Compared to our super clean cages for Chameleons back home this is more close to their "natural" habitat! Missed some stripped tenrecs and maybe some more insects...

I love Tana – it is so vibrant and busy and full of lovely people going about their lives. But sometimes your need a break from all of that activity, and Parc Tsarasaotra is the perfect antidote. For the last three years on our first full day in Tana, we have taken our study abroad students to this park. It is a great way to get their feet wet (figuratively) in the outdoors as they will be hiking for real throughout our month in Mada. A flat trail takes you around the lake, where we’ve always been treated to large groups of Red-billed Teals and White-faced Whistling Ducks. We’ve seen brilliant Malagasy Kingfishers, various egrets and night herons. Every year we see many tiny Lygodactylus geckos (although I’m not sure of the species) near the entrance and a species of bright green Phelsuma (day geckos). On sunny days we’ve seen Oustalet’s Chameleon (in a tiny park, in the middle of Tana!) I’m hoping that we’ll make it back to the park some December, when the birds will be more numerous and will include more Malagasy endemics. Back in 2016 it was required to purchase tickets at Boogie Pilgrim, but the last two years our guide just paid our entrance fee when we arrived at the park. We love Parc Tsarasaotra, and highly recommend it to bird watchers and nature lovers, and anyone who just wants a tranquil place to escape the city for a few hours.
