Whilst taking a vacation in the African country of magnificent Madagascar, visitors will get more than spectacular sunset beaches, brilliant coral reefs or tropical jungle wildlife. On this “unique” island, the line between reality and fantasy is often blurred, the bizarre and mysterious fill the air that surrounds the strange yet delightful landscapes, customs and sights.
Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve is situated close to Madagascar’s west coast. The southern protected area is a fantastic national park that covers just on 650 square kilometres, whilst the northern end is a strict nature reserve covering 850 square kilometres. Visitors can access this magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Site by road from Morondava or by plane from Mahajanga or Antananarivo.
The Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve encompasses limestone uplands that are cut into remarkable 'tsingy' peaks, forming a limestone needle forest, a striking canyon of the beautiful Manambolo river, high peaks and rolling verdant hills. The undisturbed mangrove swamps, forests and lakes are a sanctuary to the extremely rare and endangered lemurs and birdlife is abundant. Far from reality, the undiscovered treasures that makes the Island of Madagascar one of the worlds’ most beautiful are hidden there and still unspoilt.
