Day 04 |
Bekopaka Bemaraha
Manambolo river ride: At dawn, we take a traditional pirogue (dugout) to navigate on the Manambolo river and admire the impressive gorges (canyons). Further up on the river, we will see some caves and learn about the funeral traditions of the Vazimba (the first inhabitants of Madagascar).
Small Tsingy: We start with this easy introduction to the Tsingy of Bemaraha. The short circuit passes through a labyrinth of limestones and its access is relatively easy via walkways and iron ladders and small bridges. While the pinnacles were steep, they are not too high. We can observe them over from two viewpoints. We have some good chances to spot the Decken’s sifaka and red-fronted brown lemurs.
