Madagascar Parks
Anthony is a renowned Africa expert and author of many Lonely Planet guidebooks, including the guide to Madagascar.
Mitsinjo Forest is adjacent to the better-known Andasibe-Mantadia National Park. With more than 110 species recorded, Andasibe-Mantadia is one of Madagascar’s best bird-watching sites. Many of the birds can be found both in the park and Mitsinjo Forest. A forest night walk (not permitted in the national park) is recommended to spot some of the nocturnal birds, such as the collared nightjar, Madagascar nightjar, Madagascar scops owl and Madagascar long-eared owl.

Best Time for Bird Watching
Bird watching in Mitsinjo Forest is good throughout the year, but the best time is from September to December. During these months you’ll enjoy good weather and the presence of migrant species from Europe and North Africa (which are in the area from November to April). Some birds tend to be silent and inactive in the dry, cold months from May to August. This is especially true for the sought-after ground rollers.
