Day Tour from Diego Suarez (Antsiranana) : Amber Mountains (Montagne d'Ambre) - Madagascar's Oldest Park
Best of Diego & Around : Day trip excursion/shore excursion from Diego Suarez / Antsiranana (Madagascar):
Amber Mountains National Park One Day Trip from Diego Suarez ("Mouse Lemur Mountains")
35 km from the city is Montagne d'Ambre, the first National Park of Madagascar, with its dense forest, waterfalls, rich flora and fauna.
We include a trip to the Windsor Castle, a former watchtower fortified by the Vichy forces and later taken over by the English, which opens onto a superb view of the history and landscape of the surroundings.
The Amber Mountains Park has some unique (endemic) insects, reptiles, and birds here that, if you have patience and luck, can be spotted. They are also the oldest park on the island.
This is also one of the natural homes of the aye aye, the "mouse lemur," which looks a bit like an alien, and moves around at night!
This is possible as a cruise ship tour from Antsiranana (Diego-Suarez) if you have 8 hours of time. We are not responsible if you are too late to catch the ship.“We only had 11 days for our tour in November 2013, and a varied program fully satisfies us (Tana-Ifaty with Manakara train). All activities were well organized. We enjoyed our Désiré driver. The hotels were both simple, but always correct; especially that of Isalo with beautiful swimming pool, with a very good guide for the Jerome Park. We were 5 people in the minibus, so the seats unoccupied areas, which was nice for these long distances.”
