04. Isalo NP (Madagascar 2022)

This is part 4 of our trip to Madagascar (may 9 - june 26 2022).
We started in busy Tana (Antananarivo) and visited the Kings palace and walked in the ricefields just outside town.
The roundtrip started (after a flight) in Tuliar in the south, where our driver/guide Nick waited for us. The south is very dry and the 'spiny forest' covers the landscape further south.
Next stop was Isalo, a parc that reminds you of the beautiful parcs of Utah (USA). On the way we stopped in Zombitse to see the beautiful Verraux sifaka.
Next stops were Andringitra, Ranamofana and Andringitra. From there we drove in 3 days to the spectaculair Tsingy de Bamaraha and returned to Tana.
After a flight to Diego Suarez Richard waited for us to be our guide in the north. The highlights there are Ankarana (tsingy), Red Tsingy and Montagne d'Ambre.
After returning to Tana again we visited the famous Andisabe and Mantadia parcs and after a long drive the Palmarium lodge in the Pangalanes (large channels parallel to the rough see).
Our trip ended under the palm trees of Ile St Marie.
