Day 5

Transfer day Palmarium to Tana by boat, 4 wheel drive vehicles, 20 seat bus and airplane.

 Day 6

We had an easy morning transfer to the airport and a 50 minute flight to Mahajanga where we hopped into our 20 seat bus and drove to Citrus Town (yes, they grow oranges and lemons), located on the south west coast of Madagascar. We settled into our bungalows, had lunch, and split into two groups. One group of five went on a boat trip to see the crocs and birds on the lake while the other group headed into the dry deciduous forest.

Afternoons are typically quieter than mornings but we still saw green geckos, lizards, Paradise flycatcher, Pied Robin, and Coquerel’s sifaka. By a large forest pond there was a bush with lots of small frogs sitting on the leaves while Malachite Kingfishers perched on stumps near the water’s edge.
