Weather
Due to the size of the country, Madagascar experiences a range of climatic conditions. The heaviest rainfall tends to fall on the east coast and in the north particularly through the cyclone season between December and March. The highlands and parts of the south west remain fairly dry year round although sharp showers can be experienced in Fort Dauphin area.

Masoala National Park is one of Madagascar's largest and most diverse parks. The park is made up of mountains and valleys, falling down to the crisp white sandy beaches of Antongil Bay. The forests are one of the last refuges for the rare Red-ruffed lemur and the stump-tailed leaf chameleon. Nocturnal woolly lemurs can be found sitting in the folks of trees and if you are extremely fortunate you may even see the very rare aye aye. Aye Ayes have a special thin middle finger which it uses to tap on the branches of trees to find grubs. With its rodent-like teeth it then gnaws holes into the bark and inserts is narrow middle finger to pull out the grub.
