The Tsingy appear as true cathedrals of limestone, shaped by a very dense network of rifts, crevasses and surfaces of limestone blocks carved in blades or sharp needles. These limestone rocks, formed by a deposit of fossils and shells under the sea 200 million years ago, were subsequently shaped by rain 5 million years ago. Today the Tsingy offer one of the most spectacular landscapes of Madagascar or the whole world.

The park office is located in Andadoany, near the ferry of the Manambolo river, 2km from Bekopaka (south of the park). Here one can find all the information needed to make a stay in the park a memorable one, including tourist information, guides, park entrance fees and guide fees.
It is possible to pay directly on location for all the services offered by the park, admission fee, guides and boat fees.
Another access to the park is in the north in Antsalova, where also a reception desk can be found.
Bemaraha National Park has 23 independent guides and eight 8 park agents. The majority of the guides are affiliated to an association. All guides benefit from training sessions on guidance techniques, language improvement, geology, fauna and flora and customs and traditions.
