In Malagasy,
Tsara means "the best" and
noro is a girl's name. Tsaranoro is the name of a sheer granite wall that is 800 meters high and makes up one side of the Tsaranoro Valley. As described by Lonely Planet, "imagine having Yosemite to yourself." It couldn't have been more true. We did not rock climb Tsaranoro however but climbed The Chameleon's Back. The valley is located in South-Central Madagascar about 20 km off the RN7. Before getting to the valley we made a short stop at the Anja Community Reserve to see the ring-tailed lemurs and many chameleons they had. In this part of the trip, Eva and I got fancy, hiring a driver/guide to take us around for 5 days. The guide Mamy really knew the best places to stay, eat, and what to see. We were also joined by Walter, a fellow Austrian and Photography enthusiast.
