Our sources on the island will ensure we are seeking out these various anomalous creatures at the best times\, with evening walks to capture nocturnally active species as they begin their nightly routines. \nI also hope to capture a truly unique animal while we are here – the elusive fossa\, Madagascar’s largest mammalian carnivore. Closely related to the mongoose family\, fossa are widespread throughout the island\, but in very sparse populations. Combined with the thick forested habitat it prefers\, it can be a difficult animal to locate\, but I think we are up to the task! \n \n\n\n \n \n Advance notification list for workshop\n Fill out this form to be the first to be notified when this Art Wolfe Workshop is available for enrollment. \n \n InstagramThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phonenot required but often very helpfulWorkshopHave you traveled with us before?*\n \n \n Yes\n \n \n \n No\n Number of people wanting to attend?*1234Additional InformationAny other information that may be pertinent to the pre-registration of this workshop. \n \n I'd like to receive information from Art about upcoming events\, classes\, and travel opportunities\n Newsletter PreferenceGeneral (bimonthly)Blog Posts (weekly)Both\n By clicking submit you allow Art Wolfe Inc. to contact you using the information you have provided.

Berenty reserve is a small private reserve set in the semi-arid Spiny Forest of the middle of what used to be Spiny Forest\, but is now largely a sea of sisal fields. The reserve was created 70 years ago by the de Heaulme family as a private park to protect 250 hectares encompassing Spiny Forest and dry Tamarind gallery woodland along the Mandrare river. The reserve is home to six species of lemur and the south’s largest colony of Madagascar fruit bats. The easiness to observe sauntering Ring-tailed lemurs and ‘dancing’ Verreaux sifakas has turned this small protected area into one of the prime Madagascar’s primary destination. \nJuly 27 Berenty-Fort Dauphin\nAnother half day visit of Berenty reserve\, then we return to Fort dauphin. \nJuly 28 Fort Dauphin-Antananarivo\nTransfer to the airport for the flight back to Antananarivo.
