Bemiray Tours
The Makay lies about 220 kms north of Ranohira and is reachable by dirt tracks only
The Makay is the northern part of a massif cut in two by the river Mangoky. The southern part is known as Isalo. The massif was formed during the Jurassic period. Though the Makay hasn’t yet been developed and hasn’t received the status of a national park like the southern part “Isalo National Park”, this wild and rugged massif is definitely worth a visit.
Taking the road to the north along the Isalo range we drive across the savannah to the Mangoky river. After crossing the river by ferry, we will stop to Beroroha for lunch ; let’s follow the track which brings us to Beronono at the edge of the Makay, here we meet the porters that will carry our equipement,
