Amber Mountain National Park

Amber Mountain National Park Safari Trips & Tours

Chase waterfalls, hike, and marvel at the smaller things in this rainforest paradise.

Amber Mountain National Park may be pretty by name, but it’s also really quite pretty by nature. Named after the delicate flowers that cover the mountainside and shine amber from afar, the forested park is a cooling oasis where mists hang mysteriously around towering vine trees and ferns, and wild orchids peek through the foliage. The walking trails are plentiful and beautiful, and almost all lead to the famous Antomboka and Sacred waterfalls, or one of the five glorious crater lakes. The park also attracts for its wildlife spotting, but perhaps not as you know it. Amongst the seven species of lemurs and various amphibians, keep your eyes (and magnifying glasses!) peeled for leaf-mimic chameleons, tree boas, leaf-tailed geckos, pill millipedes and the Brookesia micra chameleon, which, at 25mm, is the smallest in the world.

Things to do

What to do in Amber Mountain National Park

Amber Mountain National Park showcases northern Madagascar's diverse ecosystems, with cooler temperatures than the surrounding areas. Well-maintained trails lead to waterfalls and natural swimming pools throughout the rainforest. The park is excellent for wildlife viewing, with eight lemur species and numerous chameleons and leaf-tailed geckos hiding in plain sight. Birdwatching is rewarding, with the endemic Amber Mountain rock thrush being a highlight for many visitors. For a cultural dimension, visits to nearby Sakavala and Antankarana communities provide insights into traditional Malagasy lifestyles and complement the natural attractions of this well-preserved mountain habitat.
