Ankarana Special Reserve

Lemur in Madagascar

This is one of the most adventurous reserves for visitors, rewarding those who make the effort with dramatic landscape of limestone pinnacles (tsingy), caves, untouched forest and a wealth of wildlife. Key species to look for are the Crowned lemur, Sanford's brown lemur, northern sportive lemur, white-breasted mesite, crested coua, Oustalet's chameleon, whte-lippped chameleon.
 
Camping in one of the four campsites is the only accommodation on offer although it is possible to visit this reserve on a day trip excursion from Antsiranana (Diego Suarez).

Best months to visit is in the hot, wet months when wildlife is more visible.
