Ankarana Reserve
The landscape is extraordinary and dramatic in this limestone massif, with its fields of razor sharp pinnacles called tsingy. Below, the massif is pierced by caves and canyons. Between sheer cliffs, sunken tropical deciduous forests harbour rare wildlife. The reserve is known for its large concentrations of crowned, Sanfords and sportive lemurs, as well as ringtailed mongoose, fosa, tenrecs and Madagascar striped civet. There is good birding and prolific reptile and invertebrate life. There are few trails in the reserve, vehicular access is limited to the dry season, and accommodation is in campsites.
