A community-run reserve beneath granite domes near Ambalavao, protecting a dense population of ring-tailed lemurs that sun themselves on the boulders each morning. Short guided loops pass caves, tombs and viewpoints over rice terraces. Entry fees fund local schools and reforestation, making it a model of village-led conservation.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
