Madagascar National Parks Birdwatching

Species of most common birds can be seen without any difficulty. But to capture the rare bird in flight, the service of professional guides is useful.

Birds’ lovers will find their pleasure in such site as the National Park of Mantadia in the East which is a nest of endemic birds: more than 120 species are listed there. The Park of Masoala is home to about a hundred species. They are only a preview, but the birds of Ranomafana in the Region of the Haute Matsiatra, Bezaha Mahafaly in the South, the Ankarana in the Amber Mountain in the North and many other sites will delight birdwatchers.

The wetland birds also gather in some estuaries and lakes as Tsimanampesotse. Great Flamingos, Inseparable grey heads, Vanga and Drongo meet there. 72 species of waterbirds could be seen in Tsimanampesotse.

The perfect season for bird watching is between October and December, although birdwatchers can take their binoculars and cameras from the month of August. Indeed, some birds like the Erysmature with white back of the west desert in September.
