Berenty Reserve is a small private reserve
of gallery forest along the Mandrare River, Madagascar, set in
the semi-arid spiny forest ecoregion
of the far south of Madagascar.
For more than three decades the late primatologist Alison Jolly (who
started the research at Berenty), other researchers and
students have visited Berenty to conduct fieldwork on lemurs. The reserve is also a
favourite for visitors who want to see some of Madagascar's endemic bird
species, which include owls and couas.
The
reserve has accommodation in the forest and a set of forest trails to explore.
It attracts the most visitors of any Madagascar nature reserve. It is reached
after a two-hour drive from Tôlagnaro on the
southeast coast.
