Isalo National Park the so-called "Colorado of Madagascar"

For your next holidays especially for this coming christmas, to have a trip is just a good idea. It is nice to go to a place where everything is white, full of snow. However the discovery of a new place is more exciting. Madagascar is a country where it never snows December, instead, it rains but the sun is always there, early in the morning to greet everyone. Spending some Holidays in Madagascar will be an unforgetable experience of a whole lifetime. Some tour in the south part of Madagascar will create a good memory, a lot of surprise and new discovery are waiting to take breath away. Isalo will  give you the best present for christmas.

Actually, Isalo is one of the most visited beauty spot in Madagascar. Located in the south, it belongs to Ranohira town in the district of Ihorombe. For wild nature lovers, it is the ideal place to visit, breathtaking landscape is waiting for them there. Isalo park covers 81 540 ha, a site that is sheltering many animals of different species, such as the Pseudocossyphus bensoni, the blackbird that is endemic. This bird is barely found elsewhere. During rainy season, the  endemic frog called Boophis albilabris occidentalis can be found around the waterfall “Cascade des nymphes”. Apart from that, you will not miss the lemurs if you go to Isalo park, there are nocturnal and diurnal species.

For those who aprreciate the flora more than animals when they visit such a place, they will not be disappointed. Isalo park has more than 400 species of plants, a wide variety of wonders, endemic plants and palms.The Aloes isaloensis, the palm which is typically of Isalo called “satrana” in Malagasy, and other amazing plants can be found there.
