North Madagascar - Madagascar

Including Amber Mountain National Park and Ankarana West, two of the major national parks in Madagascar, as well as Nosy Ankao, North is one of the most biologically diverse and stunning parts of the island.

Variation in biodiversity is one of the reasons for its locally diverse weather patterns, with dry pockets scattered between places subject to a wet season, with rainfalls of 950mm between December and April. The area’s topographical variation, ranging from the highest peak on the island (2,876 m) to sea level, gives rise to several different ecosystem types, and so to a variety of endemic species, who are adapted to the specific conditions they are subjected to.
