Kirindy Mitea National Park
Parc National de Kirindy Mitea
A protected area on the southwest coast of dry deciduous forest, mangroves, dunes and lakes, with baobabs, lemurs and very few visitors.
Kirindy Mitea National Park lies south of Morondava and protects dry deciduous forest, mangroves, dunes and lagoons. Its wildlife includes three baobab species, red-fronted brown lemurs and Verreaux's sifakas, and there is a lake frequented by flamingos. Far fewer visitors come here than to the Kirindy Forest to the north, so it pairs well with a trip to Belo sur Mer. Buy entrance tickets and hire guides at the park office. A 4WD is required, and visiting in the dry season is best. Night walks offer a chance to see mouse lemurs.
Opening hours
