Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve is a nature reserve located close to the western coast of Madagascar at coord|18|40|S|44|45|E|type:landmark|name=Tsigy. Because of the unique geography, preserved mangrove forests, and wild bird and lemur populations of the area, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990. Since that time the southern end of the protected area has been changed into a national park covering 666 km². The northern end of this protected area complex remains as a strict nature reserve (Réserve Naturelle Intégrale) covering 853 km².
Tourists can access the national park by road from Morondava, a town 150km south of the park. Limited access is also possible from the town of Antsalova, which can be reached by plane from Antananarivo or Mahajanga.
