During our walk, we will also be able to see the Madagascar Serpent-eating bird, to name one of many that are possible to view. As a niec touch to an already incredible day, we will head to the famous Humbert waterfall.

Although we could wander the park for days without having enough, we will spend a bit more time here this morning. The silky proprithèque, or simpona, or even the silky sifaka can be sighted here and is one of the ten species of lemurs that share the territory! There are a plethora of the country’s famous furry friends abound in the reserve, and throughout the hike, you’ll be immersed in the heart of a kaleidoscopic and particularly diverse bout of nature. Depending on the physical capacity of each participant, we will climb Mount Marojejy (which is a serious hike but most people of moderate to high fitness can do it). This is, of course, optional and dependant on time - it does offer great views. With that said there isn’t anywhere you can look that does not offer a view worth writing home about.
