Cascade des Nymphes & Namaza
Cascade des Nymphes
Ring-tailed lemurs are often seen around the Namaza campsite. A walk up the canyon leads to the Cascade des Nymphes, a stepped waterfall with pools.
The Namaza campsite sits at the mouth of the canyon, about 7 kilometers west of Ranohira. Ring-tailed lemurs and Verreaux’s sifakas frequently appear in the trees, and the campsite is a popular spot for camping and lunch in the park. A walk of about 40 minutes along the stream valley leads to the Cascade des Nymphes (Nymph Falls), where the water tumbles down in tiers into clear little pools that are good for wading. Further upstream, you can reach the Black Pool and the Blue Pool. Vehicles can drive directly to the campsite parking lot, making this a good option for visitors who are not very fit. A park guide is required, and the campsite can grill zebu beef skewers.
