Ranomafana
... . It was a great a great way to spend a birthday. We arrived home pleasantly knackered. One meal and a couple of Three Horses Beer, Madagascar's' own special brew, later we then went off to bed, very happy. The next morning we went for a 3 hour trek and ...
Ranomafana National Park
... ! the biggest problem being that the tourists are mainly French. Infact, the French presence was the only complaint I have about Madagascar!! (sorry for any French people reading this but u have to admit you're not the most friendly of travellers!!) We ...
Narrow Shave with the Wood Chipper
... mental shield. On Saturday, just as I was considering sticking my head in the nearest wood chipper, I made it to Ranomafana, population 1500. Just what I needed. Ranomafana is a beautiful little village surrounded by rainforest, just a few miles from ...
Lemur spotting in Ranomafana National Park
... are painfully slow... we'll add pictures when we find a decent connection (which may be a while)! Overall our experience in Madagascar has been great but it's not necessarily an easy country for an independent traveller. So far we have found out that ...
Getting to Isle St. Marie
Today I travelled to Ilse St. Marie, a little island off the east coast of Madagascar. For the trip, I used a "taxi-brousse", the local minibus system. The taxi was way overloaded both with people and cargo, and the driver went really fast on the little ...
The Jungles of Ranomafana
... Second stop: Ranomafana which means Rano=eau Mafana=chaude or hot water! Again the scenic drive down to Ranomafana was very nice. I didn't think that Madagascar was this mountainous / hilly. This is due to the the tectonic forces that started to ...
Inte utrotad
... Det finns bara fyra individer som lever inom det område i parken som är åtkomligt. Hery kommer från byn Ranomafana liksom alla guiderna här. Med oss har vi några guidelärlingar som försvinner iväg före. Visslingar och mobiltelefoner ...
Höglandet
... . Mycket är tillverkat av träslag som är skyddade på Madagaskar, som palisander, rosewood och ebenholtz. Det är lång väg till byn Ranomafana. En sträcka på Route National 25 är dålig, annars har vägarna varit bra. Jag är ganska mör när vi ...

Day 5 Ranomafana National Park
... to walk back again, but walk back again we did! After lunch, we took a ride into the village to take the waters. Ranomafana actually means 'hot water' and it was the natural hot spring that attracted visitors to the area before the park was opened in ...
Ranomafana National Park
... . Unfortunately, the chicken legs appeared to have come from a dwarf chicken. This was the second time when I'd had chicken in Madagascar that I'd encountered dwarf chickens. Potsy asked me to pay for his meal too, stating his meal budget didn't cover the ...
Day 4 - Ranomafana National Park
... carvings. The furniture in the restaurant where we had lunch was elaborately decorated. The guide book states that the road to Ranomafana can only be reached by 4-wheeled drive vehicles so we were braced for a bumpy ride. Fortunately in the last year ...

Rare Species at Ranomafana National Park
... and snakes. Besides the golden bamboo lemurs due to their rarity a huge (!) boa and leaf geckos (fantasticus and ebenis) impressed me. Ranomafana’s thermal pool is functional and warm. It is not so much for high-end tourists so don’t expect it ...

Ranomafana NP
We saw 6 different kinds of Lemur in one day! It was great, we also saw some mini cameleon and a bark geeko. I really enjoy my day there. There is cheap accomodation in the town but go for dinner early as everything tend to close quite ...

Looking for Lemurs
The Setam Lodge is pretty nice. It is surrounded by the rainforest and just down the street from the Ranomafana National Park entrance. It is composed of cabins on several levels of a terraced hillside which meant that we were constantly ...
from tiny chameleons and huge spiders
We arrivedin Ranomafana National park left out about 6 km from our actual destination. This meant a lot of walking. Helmut was wounded, because on the way from Tana (Antananarivo) he had an egg, which was apparently rotten. This made him not feel so well. ...
Preparing for a jungle Xmas
Hi all, So my time with Blue Ventures has come to an end. It has been a long fun six weeks full of lots of highs and, of course, the occasional low. I am now officially a divemaster, have mastered my coral identification and can tell my ...
