Die Association Mitsinjo wurde 1999 von Bewohnern des nahen Dorfes Andasibe gegründet, um vom wachsenden Tourismus profitieren zu können. 2003 übernahm die Organisation das Management des Waldes von Analamazaotra, der in der Folge zum Mitsinjo-Park gemacht wurde. Mehr als 50 Einwohner von Andasibe, darunter zahlreiche hervorragend ausgebildete Guides, kümmern sich heute um den Wald, um den Naturschutz und die Weiterentwicklung des Parks, um den Tourismus und um die Forschung.

Association Mitsinjo was founded in 1999 by locals from the nearby village of Andasibe to take benefit from the growing number of tourists visiting the area. In 2003, the Association took over the management of the Analamazaotra forest station and transformed it into the Mitsinjo Park. Today, more than 50 locals from Andasibe, among them several excellently trained guides, are taking care of the forest, the conservation, the development of the park, tourism and research.

Toro Crater Lakes – Die Toro Kraterseen

e/d 32 pictures

Starting north of Fort Portal, a concentration of crater lakes runs down south alongside the western border of Kibale National Park with its groups of habituated chimpanzees. The crater lakes south of Fort Portal sprawl over a large region with a lush, hilly countryside and a patchwork of cultivated areas and remnants of swamps as well as indigenous forest with a profusion of birds, monkeys and butterflies. One of the most beautiful is Lake Nkuruba, where the community-run Original Lake Nkuruba Nature Reserve is protecting the surrounding rainforest which is bursting with black-and-white colobus, red colobus, red-tailed and other monkeys. The lakes tend to be quite deep, and the water is clear and cool (but not too cool)– perfect for a relaxing swim.
