The Road to Ranomafana- Scenery & People

The trek to Ranomafana was a long winding and bumpy at times. A usual 8 hr drive took over 10. Nearing what we thought was the end of the journey our path of paved winding "highway" turned into an unpaved dirt road, for many kilometers. We were met with night fall and some rain, but made it to the lodge without incident. Although we could not "see" anything, i knew we were in the midst of a rain forest and that there was a lot of nocturnal activity stirring. i could not wait to wake up the next morning, like a child on Xmas Eve. For this post i am sharing the road to and from - some of the things we saw along the way.
