Tsaratanana Reserve

Located in northwestern Madagascar, this 486 square kilometer reserve contains dense forests, rivers, waterfalls, and thermal springs across varying altitudes.

The establishment of Tsaratanana Reserve on December 31, 1927, marked Madagascar's commitment to preserving its northern mountainous ecosystems and water sources.

Local Sakalava and Tsimihety communities maintain traditional relationships with the land surrounding the reserve, which supplies water to their settlements.

Access requires a three-day journey from Antananarivo, with entrance fees varying between 500 and 45000 Ariary depending on visitor nationality.

The reserve encompasses Maromokotro peak at 2,876 meters, making it the highest elevation point in Madagascar and home to four endangered frog species.
