Ankarafantsika National Park



This is a super national park; it's easy to get to, thrilling to visit with abundant wildlife, and with clear, level or stepped paths which make hiking a pleasure.

With accomodation now available next to the park, this is a must for naturalists.

Red-capped Coua (Coua ruficeps)

Ankarafantsika straddles RN4 about 120 km from Mahajanga.

The most-visited part of the reserve is on the southern side of the road, with Lac Ravelobe to the north - but the park covers over 120.000 ha stretching all the way north to the Mahajamba River.

The name Ankarafantsika comes from the word garafantsy, which means either "hill of thorns" or "nail in the skull".
