Know before you go

Please be aware that the view at Lily's Waterfall changes depending on the time of year you visit Madagascar.
During the dry season, from August to December, the view is less attractive because there is very little water flowing.
During the rainy season, from December to March, the view is very spectacular because there is much more water flowing. The peak rainy season is in February.
During winter, from April to July, the view is still better, but the dry season is already approaching and will soon affect it.
Hiring a local guide is mandatory when visiting any park in Madagascar.
If you bring USD bills, make sure they were issued after 2010. In Madagascar, no money changer accepts USD bills issued before 2010.
