Ranomafana Waterfall (Namorona River)
Riandranon'i Ranomafana
A waterfall on the Namorona River, visible from the road between the national park and the town. Water tumbles through the rainforest, making it a must-stop photo spot on the way in and out of the park.
As the Namorona River descends from the highlands to the eastern lowlands, it forms a series of waterfalls around Ranomafana. The most accessible one lies beside the road between the national park entrance and the hot spring town. From a roadside viewpoint, you can watch white streams of water pour through dark green rainforest. Water levels are highest in the rainy season. In the dry season the flow is reduced but still impressive. Inside the park, the Talatakely trail also features the smaller Andriamamovoka Waterfall. Viewing from the road is free. Watch for passing vehicles, as the road shoulder is narrow. Coordinates are approximate.
