We went via canoe with Jean Robert’s team and had a fascinating time as we saw several rare and endemic creatures, such as two different Pygmy chameleons (I think) on the two hour forest walk, along with several snakes, several lemurs quite close up. The lunch at the end was also splendid and very well prepared. Highly recommended.

The limestone Tsingy from Madagascar are without exception one of the most spectacular features of the country, all worth visiting. Here only a short walk and two bridges over the Tsingy are the basic route. Behind the bridge you can walk another circuit, we did not do. The large cave is interesting. The underground river that disappears is more interesting. Pity that you cannot go down and explore the tunnel for some distance. In the park, near the entrance we had a nice pick-nick lunch supplied by the hotel Chez Laurent, in the company of a few curious lemurs.

A vast, beautiful reserve, the Parc National de Montagne d'Ambre draws more visitors than any other place in northern Madagascar.

It was an organized trip (AIDA Cruises) with Jeeps. Yes, the streets are not good at all and the people are very poor but the trip was great. So many friendly people, laughing children, beautiful young people, a lot of beautiful flowers, trees, fruits (you should try fresh lychees sold near the street) and impressive animals: chameleons, in different sizes, from 2cm to 50cm, many lemures and a beautiful cascades!

We did this as a ship excursion and thought it was one of the best we've done. Yes its touristy but we went to madagascar to see lemurs and we were able to at this place. Loved feeding them and taking pictures. Admitedly like others have noted the guides are the best but you don't really need them but I don't think you can go in the park without them. The shoping was a lot of fun but only a few places that you could actually watch them make the stuff they were selling. Also loved the lunch served - decent food, great setting and very nice staff.
