Amber Mountain National Park, National park and tourist attraction in Antsiranana Province, Madagascar.
Amber Mountain National Park is a protected area with volcanic peaks, waterfalls, and crater lakes in northern Madagascar. Montane rainforest covers the slopes, creating a densely vegetated landscape shaped by volcanic geology.
It became Madagascar's first national park in 1958, marking the start of organized nature protection in the country. This establishment set the foundation for later conservation efforts across the island.
Local communities around the park have long used the forest for traditional practices and now help protect it. The place represents how people work together with conservation today.
Explore the park with local guides who help spot wildlife and navigate trails safely. Regular bush taxis connect the nearby village to Antsiranana city, making it easy to reach the starting point.
The park is home to some of Earth's smallest chameleons and eight species of lemurs that leap through the trees. This combination of tiny reptiles and primate acrobats makes it a special place for animal lovers.
