Nosy Mangabe is a small island reserve located in Antongil Bay about 2 km (1.2 mi) offshore from the town of Maroantsetra in north-east Madagascar. it is accessible by small boat and is part of the larger Masoala National Park complex.[2] It is a tropical rainforest national park for a species of lemur, the aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis). It lies close enough to Maroantsetra for a day trip, although an overnight stay is recommended for seeing the nocturnal aye-aye.
