About

A wondrous oasis hidden in the middle of the city. See hundreds of egrets and herons along with ducks, butterflies, and the beautifully opalescent Madagascar Kingfisher.

Hidden away in an industrial part of Antanarivo, it's an easy spot to miss. The sheer number of herons and egrets is that migrate here is surreal. The site acts as an important refuge for wildlife.
