Tomato frog at Maroantsetra

Maroantsetra, the coastal gateway to Masoala & Nosy Mangabe at the mouth of the Antainambalana River, offers a reliable chance to photograph the Madagascar Tomato Frog right within the town itself, where it breeds in the surrounding ponds and ditches. This makes it a convenient stop for those travelling with the Madagascar Wildlife & Rainforest holiday, with November providing the best window to catch these vividly coloured amphibians. Photographers should keep an eye on shallow, still water margins, where the frogs' bright orange-red tones stand out clearly against the vegetation.
