Maningoza

In the northwest of Madagascar, more precisely in the Antsingy region, is the Maningoza Special Reserve, whose foundation dates back to 1956. The somewhat smaller area of only about 80 square kilometers is home to some of the last stands of tropical dry forests on Madagascar. In addition, dense subtropical forests, wide and open savannahs and bamboo for a completion of this varied array of ecosystemswhich can be found in the Maningoza Reserve. In the Maningoza Reserve there is a very mild climate with an average temperature of around 25°C. Dry and rainy seasons are distinctly different in this area, with the Maningoza Reserve being exclusively dry during the Dry season between May and November is accessible. During this time, although most of the numerous water sources have dried up, the varied and tricky flora and fauna of this area, knows how to manage even in these periods of drought. If you want to pay a visit to the Maningoza Reserve, you should go on a bumpy arrival which will take you over a rather bad mogul road to a village called Besalampy. There you can stay overnight in one of the simple hotels if you wish, as well as dine in the local restaurants. There are no overnight accommodations in the reserve itself, but the Camping is allowed. In the event that you want to make a simple camp in the reserve, you should use the bring necessary equipment yourself or contact us directly for the organization.

The Maningoza Conservation Reserve is open to all Friends of fascinating flora and fauna a veritable Eldorado: there exist in this area more than 70 different bird speciesof which three quarters are endemic. These are joined by 15 mammal species like lemurs, mongooses, tenrecs and also the extremely shy and meanwhile rare fossas.

FOR MADAGASCAR

After 10 months of total inactivity, self-employed people in the tourism industry in Madagascar are completely without income. There is no opening of the borders in sight in Madagascar and we are at the beginning of the rainy season, which is the low season, even in normal times. I have started a fundraiser for the guides and drivers I know well. From this money we will buy rice and other essentials and distribute them regularly, if possible, until the resumption of travel activities in April 2021 at the earliest. My special thanks to those who have already donated. I will start buying rice tomorrow and will begin distributing it this week.
