Tsingy De Bemaraha National Park

It’s a mission to get here, but very well worth it! I absolutely loved the hikes in the national park. There are different routes that you can choose, we opted for the longest one in the big tsingy (it’s still only about 5km). We went through the caves, a few suspension bridges and the forest. You’ll need a head lamp. The guides don’t really want to do the long route so you have to be very persuasive. Make sure you pack bug spray, because the mosquitos are relentless even in the sry season.

Stunning. The climb to the viewpoints is more challenging than I had realised, needing clipping on to cables and crawling through shortcaves if you do the most challenging route. Great fun, and the views are incredible. Also saw lemurs, geckos and iguanas.

Beautiful national park with limestone rock formations and 11 kind of lemurs. Guides speak English, are very knowledgeable and respectful of nature. Get there early and sign up for the night safari as well to maximize the wildlife sightings - we saw 6 type of lemurs, a crocodile, jumping rat, several types of birds and the milky way, all in one day.

This place is absolutely amazing, looks like from another world! If you come to Madagascar this is a must, however arriving here takes time and you need to brace yourself because the roads in Madagascar are the worst (dirt roads with huge holes and mud) and the journey from Morondava to Bekopaka is around 8 hours. Once you reach to Bekopaka, you will stay overnight and do the hike to Tsingy the next day. When you leave to the national park from your hotel, the journey takes another 1.5 hours to reach the place and once there you will start your trail for around 5 hours walk theough the jungle, climb, crawl in narrow places in the caves, cross suspended bridges etc - is not an easy hike and is not for those afraid of heights because you go up very steep and you will have to go down as well. The rocks and cliffs are very sharp and you have to pay attention where you step, however the guides will always be there to support you. I totally recommend the experience and place and i am sure you will not regret it, is just amazing! So good luck and feel proud once you’ve done it 😁.

Quite the adventure! Cl and Justin were our guides and very nice and helpful. Beautiful views, lemurs, hiking, lite-climbing, lite-spelunking, kayak ride. Learned a bit more about the indigenous Malagasy tribes and their daily life. 2 day tours for about ar620,000 + hotel, bring your own food and water, and driver.

Visiting Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar was like stepping into another world. The park is filled with towering limestone peaks that look like a stone forest. Walking through the sharp, jagged rocks and crossing the high bridges was both thrilling and a bit scary. I saw unique wildlife like lemurs and colorful birds that I'd never seen before. The landscape feels ancient and untouched, like a hidden gem of nature. Exploring Tsingy de Bemaraha was an unforgettable adventure, making me appreciate the raw beauty of our planet.

It’s a wonder! The trek is awesome. We went in the month of November so the trek was not crowded. The view from the top is awesome. Our guide mentioned that Tsingy De Bemaraha meant tip toeing bare feet on pointy edges. Their ancestors used to do so. The limestone formations are a delight to watch and definitely worth the long drive we had to take to actually reach here. I also tried to climb the Tarzan rope.

Tsingy National Park is visually stunning, the jagged limestone formations are unlike anything I’ve seen, and the scale is impressive. Card payment is accepted for the park fee only; guides and tax must be paid in cash (160,000 + 5,000 per person), so come prepared. Unfortunately, our experience with the guides and staff left a sour taste. After paying for a private guide, we were unexpectedly asked to share with another group due to their vehicle breaking down — which was fine by us, but we later discovered we’d paid for two guides and only received one. When we asked for a refund, we were met with denial, shifting stories, and even outright lies, despite seeing our original guide leading another group in the park. Interestingly, this guide spoke perfect English in the morning, but none when we bumped into him later on and asked about our money. Staff at the ticket office were dismissive and unprofessional, and the “boss” even tried to claim we owed more money for a service we didn’t receive. It felt exploitative rather than supportive of the local community. I am all for paying a little extra to give back to a community that clearly needs it, however I refuse to be blatantly ripped off for people to line their own pockets. The park itself is overcrowded and the narrow, jagged trails can feel unsafe with large groups rushing through. The landscape is incredible, but don’t expect fairness, transparency, or good service.
