Ranomafana National Park lies in the mountains of eastern Madagascar, Africa, and is a mountainous rainforest park with a strong draw for anyone interested in wildlife. It is the place where the golden bamboo lemur was discovered, and it is home to a rich range of animal and plant life, including twelve lemur species.
What a visit offers
- Lemur watching in forest that is well suited to slow, patient observation.
- Waterfalls set within the rainforest landscape.
- Natural hot springs, a feature that sets the park apart from many forest reserves.
- Exceptional biodiversity, so birds, plants and other wildlife add interest beyond the lemurs.
Planning your trip
The park is best approached as a rainforest visit rather than a quick stop. Its mountainous terrain means walking is part of the experience, and the forest rewards those who take time to look closely. Because the reserve is remote within Madagascar, allow time for travel and bring suitable footwear and rain gear for a rainforest setting.
For visitors who enjoy natural history, wildlife and quiet forest scenery, Ranomafana offers a focused and memorable experience in one of Madagascar's notable protected areas.
