Wildlife
What You Might Encounter
Black Rhino
One of Africa's healthiest wild black rhino populations — Ngorongoro's crater floor is one of the best places on earth to see them.
Lion
The crater's lion prides are among Africa's most studied — the contained ecosystem creates extraordinary density.
Flamingo
Lake Magadi in the crater floor turns pink with flamingos during the wet season — a striking contrast against the green caldera walls.
Elephant
The crater's bull elephants are legendary for their size and the extraordinary span of their tusks.
Indri
The largest living lemur, the indri fills the Andasibe forest with its extraordinary wailing call at dawn — one of the most distinctive sounds in nature.
Diademed Sifaka
A spectacularly beautiful lemur with silky multicoloured fur, the diademed sifaka leaps between trees with extraordinary grace.
Fossa
Madagascar's apex predator — a cat-like mongoose relative that is the island's only large carnivore.
Ring-Tailed Lemur
Isalo's rocky canyon country is prime ring-tailed lemur habitat — troops warm themselves in the morning sun on exposed rock faces.
Verreaux's Sifaka
These white lemurs bound upright across open ground between trees in their distinctive "dancing" gait.
Madagascar Ground Boa
The island's largest snake hunts tenrecs and lizards among Isalo's boulders and canyon floors.
