Tsimanampetsotsa National Park

Admire the Sacred Salty Lake

The Tsimanampetsotsa National Park is a site of great biological and scenic importance. It is considered to be one of the ten most important reserves in Madagascar. Unique in kind, with a lake of alkaline origin, an irresistible attraction not only because of its pink and dwarf flamingos but also for its many other winged species. It was made a park in 1927, long before the start of the London International Convention for the protection of African fauna and flora.

Located in the Southwest of Madagascar, this strategic wetland area extends for over 43,200 hectares with more than 90% of the biological species endemic to the park. There are regularly organised excursions by quad bike from Anakao Ocean Lodge which include the lake, the cave with blind fish, a route for admiring the baobab trees that are amongst the oldest on the planet, and the beautiful beach of Ambula.
