Andranomena Special Reserve
Réserve spéciale d'Andranomena
A dry forest reserve between the Avenue of the Baobabs and Kirindy Forest, where you can see lemurs, three baobab species and endemic birds.
Andranomena Special Reserve covers about 6,400 hectares, roughly 30 km northeast of Morondava. It protects western Madagascar's dry deciduous forest, where you can see red-fronted brown lemurs, Verreaux's sifakas, various chameleons and birds, as well as three baobab species. Facilities are simpler than at Kirindy Forest and visitors are few, making it a good spot for an early-morning walk. Buy tickets and hire guides at the entrance. It is usually scheduled en route to Kirindy Forest on a private car trip.
