Also known as the Palmarium Reserve, Akanin'ny Nofy Reserve is located on the banks of the Ampitabe Lake on the eastern coast of Madagascar. The literal translation from Malagasy is ‘the nest of dreams’ - an apt name for this slice of paradise - which boasts coastal dunes, lush forest, and a well-maintained trail for visitors to explore. It is home to a variety of flora and fauna as well as a variety of reptiles, frogs, palm trees, carnivorous pitcher plants and an array of orchids. The reserve also features some rare and unique animal species, including the famous dancing sifaka, and seven lemur species including the Indri. Nature enthusiasts will delight in the breathtaking natural scenery and abundant wildlife. The reserve is only accessible via boat, making for a wonderfully adventurous entry into this wild wonderland.
