Lemurs
Different circuits offer different chances to see lemurs feeding, resting, calling or leaping — including Decken’s sifaka, Rufous Brown lemurs, Bemaraha sportive lemurs, Peter’s mouse lemur and Western bamboo lemurs.
The Tsingy de Bemaraha began as an ancient coral reef beneath a tropical sea. Over immense spans of time, tectonic forces lifted this seabed high above the landscape. Rain, underground water, wind and erosion then sculpted the uplifted limestone into razor-sharp pinnacles, deep canyons, caves, sinkholes and hidden forest corridors.
In Malagasy, “Tsingy” means “where one cannot walk barefoot” — a place where people move on tip-toe across the stone. It is the perfect name for this dramatic labyrinth of rock, light and life. Today it is not only spectacular geology, but a living sanctuary where dry forest, cliffs, river gorges and limestone microhabitats support rare species found nowhere else on Earth.
