When to visit Andasibe National Park

Rainy summer season

The eastern highlands share the higher rainfall of Ile Sainte Marie and generally speaking the closer to the coast, the wetter it gets. Here it rains throughout the year but again more in the summer and much less in the winter months. Summer months bring the most rain with rain either every day or every other day. Temperatures are warm.

Shoulder season

This is a fairly good time to visit. But the rainforest terrain will still be sodden so longer hikes can be muddy.
AVG RAINFALL 110mm
MAX TEMP 26 ℃ / 79 ℉
MIN TEMP 16 ℃ / 60 ℉

Relatively dry season

This is a good time to visit as it is relatively dry (always some chance of rain) so good for hiking in the rainforests to see the lemurs. The Eastern highlands can be both cool and clammy which is not ideal, especially at night. We recommend bringing a hot water bottle for your bed, as these are not supplied!

Best time to visit

This is probably the best time to visit as the drier months continue so it’s the best time for hiking in the rainforests.
