Where the rainforest meets the Ocean.
Composed of equatorial primary rainforest and three marine parks, the Masoala region is the largest protected area of Madagascar. It is one of the top five hotspots for biodiversity in the world. It contains rich vegetation and eight lemur as well as chameleons.
This rich but fragile marine and terrestrial ecosystem is worth at least a 4-day-exploration. Masoala National Park is part of a larger landscape/seascape in and around
Antongil Bay.
The Marine Reserve is surrounded by a beautiful coral ref and sfare for marine activities.
Nosy Mangabe island is a part the park and contains numerous species of biodiversity , home for the world's smallest chameleon. In brief, Masoala is actually a paradise for nature lovers and researchers. You will end the trip by some time to relax in Sainte Marie island.
