Back to Tana and end of trip thoughts
... valleys and arid, grassy plateau was probably the highlight. The other two National Parks comprised lush rainforest, among the few pockets of habitat remaining to the island's lemurs and other wildlife. Further south, the wonderfully eerie spiny forest was like nothing I'd seen before on any of my travels.
The people on the whole were friendly and welcoming, although I had some bad experiences with those involved in the tourism industry, ie. my ...
Super 15 in Madagascar?????
... Plus a visit to the Queen's Palace, and
amazing lookout point. Last time here (3 years ago we didn't find
