POCKET GUIDE TO MADAGASCAR 

Zombitse National Park

Located in southwest Madagascar, Zombitse National Park comprises dry, deciduous forests, marshes and savannahs and is home to eight species of lemur as well as unique flora and fauna, most of which can’t be found anywhere else in the world. It is also a great place for birdwatching, with most species endemic to the country, making it the perfect destination for avid wildlife and nature enthusiasts.

Nosy Komba

Nosy Komba, a volcanic island located off the north-west coast of Madagascar, is renowned for its lemur population, who are considered sacred and therefore a protected species that can’t be hunted or disturbed. The best place to spot the lemurs is at the Lokobe Strict Reserve, a short boat trip from the island. Due to its rugged terrain, Nosy Komba is also a great place for hiking. For a fantastic 360˚ panorama, head to the peak of Antaninaomby.

Best Time to Visit

Madagascar enjoys gorgeous weather almost all year round, with temperatures ranging between 20˚ – 29˚C, however the best time to visit is between April – December, depending on what type of activities you want to do. For beachgoers, September – November proves best. At higher altitudes, May – October is the ideal time for hiking. Wildlife enthusiasts should visit in April, May, October or November to be guaranteed the best sightings.

OROKO Top Tip

At OROKO, one of our favourite ways to holiday in Madagascar is to combine it with Ethiopia. Experience the spectacular culture and traditions of Ethiopia’s indigenous tribes before heading to Madagascar to discover the island’s marvellously unique wildlife (such as leaf-tailed geckos, stump-tailed chameleon, and mouse lemurs) at the Amber and Ankarana National Parks.
