Andringitra National Park and Tsaranoro Valley Safari Trips & Tours

The island that most associate with rainforests, lemurs and beaches has a hidden secret: the dramatic mountains of Andringitra National Park and the surrounding Tsaranoro Valley. Located in south-central Mada, the peaks are spectacular and the hiking superlative, with climbers and walkers travelling from afar to scale the rocky outcrops and granite walls in dramatic multi-day treks or more scenic one-day climbs. If that doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, visit purely for the scenery. The arid valley is dotted with mango trees, lush succulents and pockets of forest - and there are plenty of lizards, chameleons and lemurs to be spotted in the surroundings.
