Isalo National Park is approximately 700 km (435 miles) southwest of Antananarivo, Madagascar's capital. Founded in 1962, the park is home to ring tailed lemurs, brown lemurs, 80 species of birds, and 35 species of reptiles. Eroded sandstone formations, open grasslands, and fire-resistant tapia forests are just some of the features of this dry tropical forest/savannah national park. The area of the park is approximately 815 square kilometers and is open to tourists if they have a guide. The closest town to Isalo National Park is Ranohira, a largely agricultural area that produces rice, peanuts, and cassava.
