Leaving the rainforest of Ranomafana behind us we headed out to the arid Anja Park which involced a 4 hour drive. Our main focus was to see Grey-headed Lovebird, Madagascan Hoopoe and Madagascan Buttonquail, all of which we saw quite easily and had good views.

Tourists come here for the troops of Ring-tailed Lemurs that inhabit the forest at the base of the impressive rocky escarpment. We also saw Oustalet’s Chameleon and Brown Leaf Chameleon as well to round off a nice little walk.

Then we set off on another 3.5 hour drive to Isalo, seeing Madagascan Lark, Madagascan Partridge and Benson’s Rock-Thrush before reaching a rather fancy hotel set amidst the rocky landscape. After dinner we had great spotlight views of Torotoroka Scops-Owland a fabulous White-browed Owl.
