Masoala is the largest of Madagascar’s protected areas (quite a feat when you consider them all) yet also its least visited. Established in 1997, the park preserves a unique ecosystem of rainforest, complete with glorious pallisander trees, wild ginger plants, and multi-coloured orchids, mountains, and the mangroves and coastal forests of Nosy Mangabe, an offshore island reserve. If a dinosaur was to appear amongst the ferns, you probably wouldn’t be surprised – and what you will find isn’t far off: tomato frogs and chameleons, leaf-tailed geckos and serpent eagles, and the incredibly rare red-ruffed lemur. The hikes and treks here are immense, as are the whale-watching opportunities from land or sea – or you may simply wish to stroll along the near deserted beaches and see what you stumble upon…
