Manambola River, Madagascar

Tsingy de Bemaraha is one of Madagascar's newest parks -- it was opened to the public only in 1998. The 152,000ha Bemaraha is best known for its tsingy -- sharp limestone pinnacles that may reach 150 feet in height. Cut through the tsingy are canyons and gorges full of rich fauna and flora.

Visitors can look for Decken's sifaka, red-fronted brown lemurs, and the critically endangered Madagascar fish eagle.

The Manambola river canyon which forms the southern boundary of the park is said to be magnificent.
