Mangerivola Special Reserve
is located on the northeast of Madagascar. It was created in 1958 and covers a surface of 120 km². Although it lies only 50 km west from 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 rain forests, 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.
