Tsingy de Namoroka Strict Nature Reserve

The national park extends across 22,227 hectares, featuring sharp limestone formations, caves, natural pools, canyons, and dry deciduous forests.

The protected area became Madagascar's national reserve in 1927, transitioned to a strict nature reserve in 1966, and received national park status in 2002.

Local traditions prohibit visitors from bringing peanuts and pork into the park, as these foods hold specific significance in Malagasy customs.

The park offers three main circuits for exploration: Mandevy, Ambovonomby, and Antsifotra, each requiring approximately three hours to complete on foot.

The Marosakabe cave system within the park stretches for 113 kilometers, making it the most extensive cave network in Africa.
