Amber Mountain National Park

Cascading waterfalls, glassy lakes and idyllic swimming holes are just a few of the reasons to visit Amber Mountain National Park. Extending across 185 square kilometres at Madagascar’s northern tip, the park is a hub of biodiversity and is easily accessible, making it one of the country’s popular tourist destinations. The park is home to 25 mammal species, with eight species of lemurs among them, over 70 bird species and a profusion of reptiles and amphibians, including the little stump-tailed chameleon and emerald tree boas. On your way in or out of Amber Mountain, it’s worth stopping at the village of Joffreville to steep yourself in some local Malagasy culture.
