Frequently asked questions

What does the park protect?

A salt lake, limestone caves and a spiny forest of endemic species. The park belongs to the UNESCO Dry Forests of the Andrefana site.

How do you visit it?

It is a managed national park: the entry fee, the trails and accompaniment by an approved guide are confirmed with Madagascar National Parks. Access is by road from Toliara.

When can you come?

Year-round. The south-west is one of the driest regions of Madagascar. From April to October the sky is clearest and the sea steadiest; from November to March it is hotter and a few tracks need a 4×4. We build the route around your dates.
