Today as we continued heading south, we made a surprisingly fun stop at Parc Anja. Our tour guide, Jocelyn was very knowledgable about the park and all of the species in it. Their biggest, most impressive feature (it was hard to miss!) was the 3 sisters, which was 3 separate mountains that came together to form one huge formation. They had originally split from mainland Africa when the continents divided.
Shortly into the tour, we found one of the 15 groups of ringtail lemurs. Interestingly during the night they sleep in caves rather than trees because the eagles are so prevalent and will eat their babies. We even got a chance to climb up the mountains a bit and explore some of those caves, which also gave is out first look at some of the traditional mountainside tombs that we would see more of as we continued in our drive.
