An entertaining video that takes you through Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve, showing the beauty and the adventure.
We’re pleased to learn that Madagascar National Parks, in conjunction with the conservation organization Wildlife Madagascar, is constructing a new camp in Marojejy’s sister park, Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve. The new camp is in an area where the critically endangered Red Ruffed Lemur (Varecia rubra) has recently been discovered.
A visit to Anjanaharibe-Sud which includes Camp Indri, Camp Varecia and even summiting Anjanaharibe-Anivo would make for an amazingly adventurous trek through some of the world’s most beautiful and biodiverse rainforests.
