When to Go Birdwatching in Madagascar?

With an avifauna composed of only 290 species, Madagascar may not compete in quantity with other birdwatching destinations, but its richness lies elsewhere. More than half of these species are endemic, meaning they cannot be found anywhere else in the world. This uniqueness turns each sighting into an exceptional encounter and places Madagascar among the 15 global biodiversity hotspots.

Andohahela: The National Park of Three Worlds

Located in the extreme south of Madagascar, just 40 km northwest of Taolanaro (Fort-Dauphin), Andohahela National Park is a natural gem that stretches across the Anosy region, straddling the districts of Taolanaro and Amboasary-Sud. Nestled among four large villages, this park is truly a natural treasure. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Andohahela is unique in its kind, combining three distinct ecosystems in one place. You will be able to explore evergreen humid forests, sub-arid thorny thickets, and a rare transition formation between dry and humid forests all in a single parcel!
