'''Day 5: Masoala National Park - [[Nosy Mangabe]] (B/L/D)'''<br>
After breakfast transfer by boat (2h). If we are lucky we might see dolphins and Humpback whales during July and the first two weeks in September. Nosy Mangabe is a pristine lowland rainforest island of 5.20km² and the best place to see Black-and-white ruffed lemur and White-fronted brown lemur.
 Nosy Mangabe's reptile and amphibian fauna is equally dramatic; among others there are countless colourful and photogenic frogs, chameleons and geckos. We may encounter the Panther chameleon, Antongil leaf chameleon (the second smallest chameleon in the world), Climbing mantella (mantellaleavigata), Green day-gecko and the incredibly camouflaged Common flat-tail gecko 
sleeping during the day. We may see snakes such as the Madagascar tree boa and Madagascan giant hognose snake.
