- Dry deciduous forest and baobab groves — Wide, sun-bleached stands of deciduous trees punctuated by scattered baobabs. The light and silhouettes at dusk make for dramatic photos, and the habitats here are very different from Madagascar’s rainforests to the east.
- Mangrove channels and coastal ecosystems — A maze of mangroves between land and sea that supports crabs, fish nurseries and weird shore birds. Canoe or pirogue trips are calm, beautiful and a great way to see how marine and terrestrial life meet.
- Sandy beaches and dunes — Long, empty beaches with shifting dunes where you can stretch out, watch birds, or walk to secluded coves. Good for a low-effort day off after a sweaty hike.
- Nocturnal wildlife and night walks — The park comes alive after dark: tiny mouse lemurs, sportive lemurs,

- Nocturnal wildlife and night walks — The park comes alive after dark: tiny mouse lemurs, sportive lemurs, frogs and active geckos. Bring a headlamp and quiet shoes. Personal favorite — those close-up, glowing-eyed moments on a night walk are unforgettable.
- Endemic lemur encounters — A handful of lemur species use both forest and coastal fringes; you’ll catch diagonal leapers, quiet foragers and bold tree-hoppers if you’re patient on trails and near water.
- Chameleons, geckos and reptiles — Dry forests and coastal scrub host a surprising variety of reptiles. Look slow and low during the day and you’ll find colorful chameleons and patterned day-geckos.
- Birdlife and shorebirds — From mangrove specialists to migratory waders, the park is a reliable stop for birdwatchers. Expect a mix of coastal feeders and dry-forest species — optics help, but you don’t always need them.
- Local fishing villages and boat trips — Small coastal communities sit on the park’s edge; joining a local boat trip or hiring a guide connects you to reef snorkeling, island hopping and fresh seafood — and helps local livelihoods.
