October 2007
Long distance, but so worth it.
Red track towards the baobabs (tall species rather than the short fatties we had in Andava). On and on and on towards the river, an hour crossing down the Tsiribinha river on the ferry. Hours later crossing another river with a ramp at 45degrees, we have 4 goes at getting up it!
Into the Tsingy, grey limestone pinnacles. Walking through the cracks in the Tsingy with rock towering above and all sides. Great to interact with the nature in as much as climbing up and down, walking through, and reaching a view point at the top means that you can.
The occasional lemur making its cry and leaping as they do, if you are lucky, and they aren’t just sitting in the tops of trees eating in the same spot.
More hours spent in a 4x4 to reach more tsingy of the ‘grande’ variety, and then on our way out.
A pirogue down the Manambolo canyon, sunrise cruise, gorgeous colours displayed on the rocks and pretty little caves in the river banks to explore as well. Loads of birds (not sure what they are, but they are lovely anyway).
Sunset at Baobab Avenue with all the other tourists, but a calming place when the sun has set and everyone runs back to Morondava and we head to Kirindy National Park for a slow night walk and sleep in the calm tranquil forest. More lemurs, a few chameleons, and a 4x4 back to Morondava to catch a flight to terrible Tana.
