Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park, situated in southwest Madagascar, is readily accessible via the RN7 highway and typically serves as a key stopover for wildlife enthusiasts. A guided visit with a mandatory local guide is required to explore its dry deciduous forests, offering expert insight into its rich biodiversity; solo entry is not permitted. The ideal time to visit is during the dry season, from April/May to October/November, as the rainy season (December to March) can make trails impassable. A typical visit lasts from a half-day to a full day, with approximate costs including a daily park entrance fee (around 10-15 USD for non-residents) and a guide fee (roughly 7-12 USD for a half-day, often shared among a group). Key attractions include various lemur species (such as Verreaux's sifaka), endemic birds like Appert's greenbul, and chameleons, making it a highly rewarding natural experience.
