We drove down a long, steep road, past a large waterfall, and then along the deep Namorona river valley leading to the town of Ranomafana. The valley opened up when we reached the town, and we met our local guide, Rodan. We set out for a night walk at sunset. Ranomafana has had increasing difficulty with poaching/harvesting in the park at night, so it is now closed after sunset, but Rodan was confident that we’d see plenty along that same road we’d driven in on. He was not wrong!
