Around 40 km in south of Antsiranana (Diego-Suarez), you could find the national park of Amber.

Amber mountain (montagne d’Ambre), the first created park of Madagascar, protects a dense and tropical forest of which big trees are cumulating about 40m high. Its branches carry many orchids and ferns. The forest surrounds sacred waterfalls and crater lakes. This park shelters 7 species of crowned lemurs (Eulemur coronatus).

Many bird species live in this forest, some of them endemic of Northern Madagascar like the Blackbird of Amber mountain. You also could find the strange Uroplatus allauaudi, a flat endemic gecko.
