'''Day 2: Masoala National Park (B/L/D)'''<br>
Breakfast and thereafter day visit to the rainforest of the park.
Masoala National Park consists of rainforest with a rare endemic wildlife.
Several species of lemurs can be found, such as Red ruffed lemur and White-fronted lemur.
The site is also popular for bird watching by the presence of the unusual Helmet vanga,
an enormous vanga with an enormous blue beak. The Helmet vanga is the star of Masoala, followed by the Parson's chameleon. Lunch at the hotel.
Afternoon free: time to relax or walk on the beach or to go swimming. Night walk in another part of the forest near the camp. Overnight at the lodge

'''Day 3: Masoala National Park (B/L/D)'''<br>
'''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, 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. Dinner and overnight in the Lodge
