Ranomafana is situated on the eastern slope of Madagascar’s mountainous backbone and spans a wide range of elevations and forest types. Our short extension gives us the opportunity to find several rare and localised mammals such as Golden Bamboo Lemur and Milne-Edwards’s Sifaka. This is an excellent site for the attractive Pitta-like Ground Roller, as well as offering us further chances for a good proportion of endemics, including the uncommon Pollen’s Vanga and Brown Mesite. Night walks also offer the opportunity to see colourful chameleons and strange leaf-tailed geckos.
Due to the arduous road conditions between Antananarivo and Ranomafana (which currently takes an entire day of bumpy driving to cover +-400km), we now use charter flights, greately improving the comfort of this extension.

Excellent to incredible.
David Hoddinott is the best!! He is tenacious about getting all participants on all birds!
Our leader, Rob Williams, was extremely knowledgeable, had a good sense of humour and was keen to see as many species as possible. He helped group members locate more difficult species.
Stephan was an excellent guide and leader. Excellent knowledge, bags of energy, calm and attentive to the needs of the group. Accommodation and food generally very good and local ground agent had logistics well sorted - even internal flights all to plan.
Another excellent Rockjumper trip. David did a good job meeting our needs through the whole trip.
Honestly, I didn't know what to expect since this was my first birding specific trip, and it exceeded my expectations. Seeing all the endemic birds, mammals and reptiles was a once in a lifetime experience I will always remember. Adam Walleyn is a great guide who is extremely knowledgeable about most things "Madagascar." And he has balanced the skills of keeping us all on track and being fun to hang around with - so many interesting stories about his travels.
