Madagascar, 2023
We flew to Madagascar in August, 2023 to look for lemurs, other mammals, reptiles and birds. We had previously visited Madagascar in 1995 and found many changes in our 2023 visit. After a few days in Antananarivo, we flew west to Morondava and drove north to Kirindy and Tsingy de Bemaraha National Parks observing many lemurs, birds, geckos and chameleons. Returning to Antanananarivo, we drove south to Andisabe and Ranomafama National Parks. After a long day drive back to Antanananarivo along one of Madagascar's busiest highways, we flew north to Sambava to explore Marojejy and Amber Mountain National Parks. We've collected our favorite photos into the gallery below and kept a separate page for lemur species at Madagascar Lemurs, 2023. We also have blog posts at Return to Madagascar and Madagascar - Loads of Lemurs!
