Baie de Baly National Park is located in the Boeny region, within the Soalala district, and covers an area of 57,418 hectares. This national park is still relatively unknown to tourists, but it won’t stay that way for long. Imagine a place where the sea meets the land in perfect harmony: few places are as rich in biodiversity. The dense and dry forest meets the scraggly vegetation of the thickets, and the green carpet of mangroves stretches over 5,000 hectares along the shoreline.
In addition, there are remote beaches, stunning lakes, and coral reefs that offer incredible underwater experiences for diving enthusiasts. The park is home to the Angonoka tortoise, one of the rarest species in Madagascar, and endemic birds such as the Madagascar fish eagle, The Sacred ibis, and Hubert’s heron. The bay, often considered the “heart” of the park, is also popular with flamingos and dolphins. It even includes Lake Sariaka.
The ancestral worship is very vibrant in the region, with ceremonies like the annual Fanompoana, during which offerings are placed on royal tombs, and the Fitampoha, held every 5 to 7 years, which involves immersing relics in major rivers.
