 This area was once practically inaccessible, but since it became a UNESCO World Heritage site it has begun featuring on more and more tour itineraries. The largest protected area in Madagascar (152,000 hectares), Tsingy de Bemaraha is in the west of the country and includes a huge forest of eroded limestone pinnacles that harbours a stunning display of wildlife.
The reserve is actually two parks, the Petit Tsingy and the Grand Tsingy. So far recorded are 53 species of bird, eight of reptile and six of lemur. Organised trips into the Tsingy may include a spectacular canoe trip down the Manambolo River.
In the south of Petit Tsingy is the spectacular Manambolo Gorge where you can see waterfalls, lemurs and magnificent untouched forests.
