Madagascar Parks
Philip is a renowned Africa expert and author of many guidebooks to African destinations, including the Insight guide to Madagascar.
The diverse vegetation of Masoala National Park, including large tracts of primary forest, offers important habitats for a large number of bird species. Of particular interest is the rare and secretive Madagascar serpent eagle. One of the all-time favorites of Madagascar birds, the helmet vanga is most easily seen in Masoala when local guides have located their nests.

Best Time for Bird Watching
Bird watching in Masoala is good throughout the year, but the best time is from September to January. During this time, birds are at their most vocal and active and are therefore easier to spot. This is especially true for the sought-after ground rollers. The helmet vaga are nesting at this time, so they can usually also be found. Migratory birds are present from November to April.
