26-day wildlife trip to Madagascar September/October 2023

26-day wildlife trip to Madagascar September/October 2023

Ruta and me travelled through Madagascar for 26 days from the very end of September well into October 2023. We focused on five main areas: Nosy Be, Ranomafana, Kirindy, Andasibe and Masoala. During our stay, we were able to observe a total of 318 wildlife species, including 78 mammal species, 120 bird species, 15 amphibian species and 51 reptile species. An amazing trip for sure!

I am a French biologist and I have cultivated a very strong interest for wildlife and mammals in particular since my early childhood (1,001 mammal species observed until May 2023 and more than 1,750 bird species). I have been lucky to travel the world to see animals in their natural ecosystems but also in captive settings. I have been interested indeed in the way zoological institutions have evolved and are currently developing (more than 1,800 zoological institutions visited and studied across the globe). I am currently working as a consultant within the French zoo consultancy named Fox Consulting (http://www.fox-zooconsulting.com/en/). A taxonomical database of my wildlife pictures are available on my website http://www.leszoosdanslemonde.com/galerie-animaliere.php.

    Jonas I liked your report – but of the 10000s of pictures you must have of me, you literally picked the one where I look like I urgently have to be put in a mental asylum! So thank you for that ;-P

    I’m looking forward to seeing you guys again in 2024!!

    What a report! I can not remember having read or viewed anything like that on mammalwatching.com. Fantastic! On the other hand: If others follow in your footsteps, I think I will retire and do nothing else, but reading reports on mammalwatching.com 😉

      Thanks a lot Ralf! It was a great trip indeed and we enjoyed very much preparing, writing, compiling, drawing and painting the report. 🙂
