== Circuits (tours) in the eastern part of the park==Eight circuits cross the eastern park of the Ankarana National Park. Starting point for each circuit is the main office at Mahamasina. It is possible to combine several circuits for at one visit.
=== The cave of the bats ===
=== The Viewpoint of Ambohimalaza ===
4- to 5-hour trek, easy but steep in the final stretch. The track leads through a forest of the endemic tree "Taim-papango" and through the forest of big lianas and ficus. At the viewpoint a postcard picture surprises the trekker with views of Ambilobe in the west, over the tsingy and the Mozambique Channel spotted with islets ([[Nosy-Be]], [[Mitsio]] etc.) at the horizon. From the highest point of the plateau one can see the whole northern part of the Ankarana National Park, which is dominated by the silhouette of Montagne d'Ambre. Along the track one can see Crowned lemur, Sanford's lemur, Northern sportive lemur, Spear-tailed gecko and birds such as Madagascar harrier-hawk, Peregrine falcon and Guinea fowl.
=== Lac Vert / The Green Lake ===
8- to 9-hour trek, moderately difficult because of the length of the track. This part of Ankarana is only accessible during the dry season from June to December. This track comprises the extent of the tsingy. The Amposatelo stream is ideal for a cool-down and swim. Trekkers can observe Crowned lemur, Sanford's lemur, Northern sportive lemur, Ring-tailed mongoose, fossa, birds such as White-breasted mesite, Madagascar crested ibis and flycatcher.<br><br>
