Ranomafana National Park

Ranomafana National Park is located in the southeastern part of Madagascar, among the rainforests and the bustling Namorona River. With an area of over 41,500 hectares, the park is home to several rare species of animals, birds and plants.

The name Ranomafana translates as “hot water”, due to the large number of springs and a rugged river that plays a huge role in the ecosystem of the park.

In 1986, an endangered species of bamboo lemur was discovered in the area. This discovery gave rise to the creation of an entire park. Ranomafana Park was established in 1991 and the main goal was to preserve the unique diversity of the local fauna. Today there are 12 species of lemurs, including such rare as woolly lemur, red lemur, oriental bamboo lemur.

One of the “chips” of the park can be considered night excursions. They are very popular among tourists. The fact is that it is at night that you can see lemurs and other representatives of the animal world that lead a nocturnal lifestyle.
