Madagascar at night
One of the most fun wildlife adventures in Madagascar is to do night tours. These typically start directly after the sun sets for the day, and last 1-2 hours. On such tours you can see various species of sleeping chameleons, sleeping birds, spiders, frogs, and if you're lucky some nocturnal lemurs.
This photo list will highlight the photos we've taken during several night tours in Madagascar, in Andasibe, Ranomafana, Tsingy, and Kirindi.
