Ankarafantsika National Park

We visited in November and of course is very dry there. The park fee is very high , 50.000 ariari each EVERY day you stay there( we stayed overnight and had to pay for 2 days). The circuits are ok, nothing extraordinary, we visited about 10 parks in Madagascar . We did Retendrika ( boring ), coquereli ( 2 groups of common brown lemurs spotted ) the lake by boat and the baobab .The bungalows are spartan, bed is smaller then a queen bed , mosquitos are EVERYWHERE ( I saw people covered in a net while reading a book outside ) and they are hot like an oven ( and dark ). They are just a couple of paces away from the highway cutting the park in the middle ( a lot of trucks , even at night ). The restaurant was terrible and super pricey ( well the bungalow too..100.000 ariari is not cheap here ). The shower was leaking the WHOLE night. We barely slept . The lake is a lake , nothing extraordinary. We saw a crocodile . It is a paradise for birds seekers ( we spotted just a few ), but honestly we found it dirty ( a lot of plastic around ) and unappealing .

A unique habitat in the North West part of Madagascar close to Majunga. This area is dry and receives very little rainfall and there forest here is mainly dry tropical. These is the place where you have a glimpse of the smallest lemur, the mouse lemur (Microsebus sp) but all at night. Numerous species of birds is also the added attraction of this place apart from the vegetation. Must visit place in Madagascar. One thing worth mentioning is the drive to this place from Antananarivo, it's a life time experience while driving through the natural scape, popularly known as moonland.

Beautiful park! You can walk all routes in one day if you wish. I recommend the lemur habitat and canyon, truly amazing.

Realy nice national park. I dont like the rule that you most have a guide however. I want to feel freedom wich is hard in Madagascar overall

An astonishing national park with very few foreign visitors. A local guide is required and definitely makes the whole experience better. Highly recommend our guide, Rapp! Great animals in the day and at night (try to do a night hike!), but also starkly different biomes side by side in the park. The sandstone canyon is unlike anything I've ever seen! Incredible views.

Amazing national park on your way from Tana to Majunga. The ticket office isn't exactly where this 📍 is but on the actual road. The park has different areas with tons of birds and lemurs. Bonus point for the great night walk that's done right on the edge of the park. Highly recommended!

The drive from Antananarivo to Ankarafantsika National Park is an experience I will never forget. The landscape is completely out of this world and the most spectacular thing I have ever seen in my life. Highly recommend having a 4WD as same places are inaccessible by car. Do not recommend driving at night, as a lot of locals don't have driving light's 🙈😅

Wonderful park to see lemurs, chameleons, geckos 🦎 and birds 🐦! I did the full day hike along with a night hike. Also did a half day hike the following day. Gildas was my guide and he was very friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure my experience was incredible! Also spoke English very well. Thanks Gildas for a wonderful experience! 🇲🇬
