'''Day 4: Ankarana National Park (East) (B/L/D)'''<br>
After breakfast we spend the day discovering Ankarana National Park. We visit the bat cave and lost river and thereafter walk in the Tsingy Meva and Tsingy Rary. This park protects one of the largest stretches of Tsingy, Madagascar's most bizarre, wonderful, and out-of-another-world landscape. Ankarana is also the best place for observing lemurs such as Crowned lemur and Sanford's brown lemur. Sometimes the Crowned lemurs cross the jagged limestone of the Tsingy to search for food. There are several reptile species including the Oustalet's Chameleon or Malagasy giant chameleon (one of the biggest chameleons in the world), Petter’s white lipped chameleon, Panther chameleon, Minute leaf chameleon (the smallest chameleon in the world) and different gecko species like the Big-headed gecko. Many of the reptiles are endemic to Ankarana.<br>
Ankarana is famous for birding. There are Madagascar blue pigeon, Hook-billed vanga, Sickle-billed vanga, Red-tailed vanga, Common newtonia, Common jery, Lesser vasa parrot, Greater vasa parrot, Common Hoopoe and White-breasted mesite. We return back to lodge. When the sun sets we may do a short night walk before dinner to search for Ankarana sportive lemur, Northern rufous mouse lemur, and perhaps some interesting gecko, frog or Madagascar scops-owl. Dinner and overnight in Ankarana National Park (East).
