Kirindy Forest is a nice place to find wildlife. In the ecolodge you can find a fossa, which visits the trash bin unfortunately. On a day hike you can find birds like couas, Verreaux's sifaka, red-fronted brown lemurs and reptiles. On a recommended night hike, which really goes into the forest, you can find grey mouse lemurs, red-tailed sportive lemurs and a pale fork-marked lemur (this is wat we saw). This is a great park for a 1 night and day visit.

We had a guide (Matthew) tour use through the forest for about 2 hours. His English was great and he was able to answer our questions. We saw 3 of 7 types of Lemurs (5 are nocturnal). It was an amazing experience! Bring solid footwear, mosquito repellant and long pants for most comfort. Washrooms available near parking lot and you can purchase drinks as well. Cash only.

My first park to see in Madagascar and even at the beginning of May, during the warm and dry season the visit was great despite not seeing the famous largest Madagascar predator fossa neither in the forest or around the camp side. Which I partly expected. But I have chose May as during rainy season the road conditions are even worse. The park is situated about 60 KM or rather 2 hours bumpy ride from Morondava via the Avenue of the Baobas. I have not seen fossa but I was lucky that the first lemur we found was strangely the nocturnal one. Then we spotted White Sifaka and for more than one hour we observed playful red-fronted brown lemurs in the serenity as my tour started quite late at 10:00 we arrived at 9:00 but we had to wait for the availability of the guide. But it paid off to wait as our guide was fantastic and knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to see lemurs but also many birds. The tour took about two hours. There is on-site restaurant with meals about 30.000 Ar and you can stay overnight and also take night tour. Entrance fee 50.000 Ar guide 2 hours 50.000 Ar.
