Review & FAQ:

Located in western Madagascar about 30 miles north-east of Morondava, Kirindi Forest (aka Kirindi Private Reserve) is a private park occupying what was once a sustainable timber harvesting site. You can explore the park by following two circuits, which will give you the chance to spot several species of lemur and the astonishing giant jumping rat (which hops on two feet like a kangaroo), which is only found in Kirindi Forest. In addition to admiring the unique wildlife, you can also try and identify three species of baobab tree and many other examples of indigenous Malagasy flora. You can spend a night or two in the rustic Ecolodge or pitch a tent under the forest canopy. Map
