The Marojejy National Park is in the far Northeast of the amazing island of Madagascar. Here is one of the last places you can find the Silky Sifaka or “Ghost of the Jungle.” This primate is a large Lemur with a distinctive brilliant white coat. There are estimated to around 150 left in the wild and in this national park, I was told the total population is now just 98. It was a difficult five day trek into the tropical rain forest, which was incessantly wet, to the area where there is an opportunity to glimpse these beautiful creatures. I had contacted the University of Cornell (who research these primates) in advance and they kindly put me in touch with two ranger guides. Pierre and Nestor were outstanding and had guided David Attenborough in Marojejy for his Madagascar series. It took all of these days for Nestor to locate this one group, but the two hours I saw them in the treetops was a magical experience.
