Mangerivola Special Reserve
Located in the northeast of Madagascar. It was created in 1958 and covers a surface of 120 km². Although it lies only 50 km west of Tamatave, its difficult access still maintains Mangerivola quite isolated, and only a few tough travellers come here.
The Reserve includes evergreen humid low and high rainforests, which vary depending on the altitude (the highest point is the Mangerivola peak at 1484 m altitude). The landscape is formed by dense valleys and hills with abundant rivers, lakes, and some spectacular waterfalls, which are up to 80 m high.
