Some small <a href=\"http:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/en\/renault-4-das-madagassische-taxi\/\">taxis<\/a> also drive there, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/taxibrousse\/\">Taxibrousses<\/a> run with less comfort and safety. Antsiranana has an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/flughaefen-auf-madagaskar\/\">airport<\/a> from which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/fluege\/\">domestic flights<\/a> to the capital Antananarivo are offered several times a week. From Tana by land, it is about 1000 km to Ankarana.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Information about the national park:<br \/>\n<\/b>The approximately 182 km\u00b2 Ankarana Special Reserve, founded in 1956, is famous above all for its Tsingy: razor-sharp limestones that tower over huge areas close to the sky at a height of several meters. They are remnants from the Jurassic and otherwise only occur in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/deutsch-tsingy-de-bemaraha\/\">Tsingy de Bemaraha<\/a> and Tsingy de Namoroka National Parks. The Malagasy word <em>mitsingytsingyna<\/em> means &#8220;walking on tiptoe&#8221;. One of the several hours of hiking trails to and along the Tsings, which leads to two small, very safely paved suspension bridges, is recommended. From the highest point of Ankarana Special Reserve, you can see the whole park up to the Mozambique Channel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Tsingy separate the park in two, a dry savannah landscape and a dry forest. The park offers a variety of hiking routes, from one to six hours of difficulty for every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tanalahorizon.com\/de\/teilnehmerstimmen-2\/\">traveler<\/a>. Crossed by numerous gorges and rivers, Ankarana also has Africa&#8217;s largest interconnected underground cave network with a total length of 120 km. Some of the caves can be visited, others are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/fady\/\"><em>fady<\/em><\/a> (sacred or taboo). A special feature of the Reserve is the &#8220;perte des rivi\u00e8res&#8221; (&#8220;the river hole&#8221;), a huge stone hole in which several rivers merge and continue underground. The rivers only carry water during the rainy season, so that this small wonder of nature, as well as some river beds, can be visited safely during the dry season. Since 2023, Ankarana has been a <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/494\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_793\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-793\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tsingy4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-793 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tsingy4-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"Tsingys\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tsingy4-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tsingy4-310x205.jpg 310w, https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tsingy4.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-793\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tsingys of Ankarana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Climate:<\/b><br \/>\nAnkarana has a hot, tropical climate. The temperatures are often well above 30\u00b0C. The heat makes even easy walks in the Tsingys fast to a sweaty tour, the forest offers however sufficiently shady cooling. April to August, the dry season, is the best season to visit this Reserve.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Infrastructure:<br \/>\n<\/b>Despite its good location, Ankarana Special Reserve has not yet been fully developed for tourists. Accommodation of very moderate-quality can be found in nearby Ambilobe, in Ambanja, or better in Antsiranana (Diego Suarez), a little further away. Directly in the park, there are two small campgrounds with simple toilets, but without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/strom-elektrizitaet\/\">electricity<\/a> or water, but all the more mosquitoes. The local guides can arrange picnics or lunch on request so that you can enjoy the whole day in the Reserve. The eastern entrance of the park is located in the east in the village of Mahamasina, where there are ten very spacious, simple bungalows at <em>Chez Laurent<\/em>. Just a few kilometres from Mahamasina is <em>Ankarana Lodge<\/em>, which offers more sophisticated bungalows and a pool.<\/p>\n<p><b>Flora and Fauna:<\/b><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_792\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-792\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sportive2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-792 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sportive2-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"Ankarana sportive lemure\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sportive2-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/sportive2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ankarana sportive lemur<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The caves of Ankarana as well as the Tsingys offer only specialized animals and plants a peculiar habitat.

Only another few years ago, a smaller leaf-tailed gecko, <em>Uroplatus fetsy<\/em>, was discovered in Ankarana.\u00a0 In one of the caves live Nile crocodiles (<em>Crocodylus niloticus<\/em>). Day geckos (<em>Phelsuma abotti, Phelsuma grandis <\/em>and <em>Phelsuma roesleri<\/em>) whizz rapidly over tree trunks and branches, and the most different snakes like the golden hook nose snake (<em>Leioheterodon modestus<\/em>) or the four-striped <em>Dromycodyras quadrilineatu<\/em>s live in the foliage.
