From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
The natural park is home of the Livingston bats and one kind of lemur. Furthermore, Ntringui mountain is the highest point of the island, and the lake the biggest source of fresh water. Visiting the lake is a wonderful trip suitable for anyone, no matter physical condition. Nevertheless climbing Ntringui mountain takes about 3h, and requires a minimum physical condition as it is very steep, even needing to use hands and feet in some tracks. However the effort is compensated by the fantastic vegetation. Climbing Ntringui mountain is absolutely a rewarding experience, you will find an exuberant wild forest full of life. Camping with your own gear by the lake is possible, otherwise Oussein Said (the owner of the only eatery in Dindri) organises home stay at his mother in law. You'll have your own room and home-made food.
