EXCURSION TOTSIMANAMPETSOTA
shared excursion with your guide
Tsimanampetsota is a fantastic park located around ninety minutes on a rough road from
Anakao. The park is home to some of the most striking dry and spiny forest in the country.
The guide will take you walking through the spiny forest where you will get the opportunity
to view some of the most bizarre shaped baobab trees. Some of these are reputed to be
3000 years old. Nearby there are some beautiful caves, one of which harbours an endemic
species of fish that is entirely blind. From the top of the ridge there are spectacular views
over a saline lake that for much of the year contains a number of flamingos. Please be
aware that this is one of the hottest parts of Madagascar so take a sun hat as well as high
factor sun cream.
