12 Feb Amber Mountain National Park
Amber Mountain National Park (Le Parc National Montagne d’Ambre) shelters around the slopes of the spectacular Amber Mountain massif in northern Madagascar and is home to many species of plants and animals endemic to Madagascar.
A number of lemur species can regularly be seen in the reserve.
The mountain that gives the reserve its name is undercut by an amazing network of caves some sixty kilometres long, many large enough to allow visitors to hike for kilometres underneath the mountain.
There are forests of mesmerising 'tsingy', row after row of knife-blade-like weathered rocks clustered on some of the mountain slopes.
