ALLEY OF BAOBABS

The alley of baobabs or avenue of baobabs is a group of baobabs which border the dirt road between Morondava and Belon'i Tsiribihina in the Menabe region in western Madagascar. It has been a protected area since 2007.

This spectacular complex constitutes a notable tourist attraction and it is one of the most visited sites in the region and in Madagascar.

Its conservation is the subject of local efforts with in particular temporary protection in July 2007 by the Ministry of the Environment, Water and Forests, which is the first step towards the classification of "national monument" in Madagascar.

National park of Andringitra

Andringitra National Park is a national park in south-central Madagascar. It was originally created in 1927 as an integral natural reserve1 and then classified as a national park in 19992.

The national park shelters the Boby peak, the highest accessible summit of Madagascar.

It is one of the six parks classified, in 2007, with the World natural heritage of the humid forests of Atsinanana

THE TSINGY OF BEMARAHA

The Tsingy of Bemaraha are located near the small town of Bekopaka in the Melaky region, 150 km north of Morondava for its southern entrance but also close to the town of Antsalova accessible by plane for its northern entrance. The reserve is open from June to November (dry season) but is still not very easy to access due to very difficult roads.

The Tsingy formations date back to the separation of the island of Madagascar from the African plate, 160 million years ago. This tectonic shift led to the lifting of a gigantic limestone plate. The Tsingy are therefore these immense massive limestones with impressive gaits.

The Tsingy du Bemaraha are the largest in Madagascar. These training courses, unique in the world, arouse the curiosity of botanists, geologists, environmentalists and biologists. The Tsingy include 90 varieties of birds, 8 species of reptiles and 10 species of lemurs.
