• Ranomafana National Park

    October 16, 2024 in Madagascar ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    After wanting to visit here since 2000, I'm pleased to say the park did not disappoint. These hikes are not for the faint hearted but I wouldn't have missed a second. Ranomafana National Park was established in 1991 and covers an area of 416 km2. It is relatively high elevation, with the park ranging from roughly 800m to 1200m above sea level. It is a very "up and down" park and takes it out of you, but the views! We saw 4 species of Lemur, the Red Fronted Brown Lemurs ( Eulemur rufifrons ), the Milne Edwards Sifaka ( Propithecus edwadsi ), the Greater Bamboo Lemur ( Prolemur sinus ) and the Golden Bamboo Lemur ( Hapalemur aureus ). There was also a Ring Tailed Mongoose ( Galidia elegant ) and the ICONIC Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko ( Uroplatus phantasticus ).
    The breathtaking views, the endless variety of bugs and insects and the beautiful birds combine to make Ranomafana an incredible place to visit
