5 Days Andasibe Reserve Lemur Safari

As soon as you land in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, you will be met by a representative either at the airport or your hotel, depending on where you need to be picked up. The remaining time of the day is yours to spend as you like exploring the busy metropolis.

After a brief driving tour of Tana, we’ll continue on to Andasibe through the lush and verdant east. This first phase takes us to a humid region of the country with several primary forests and lakes, as well as rice fields, waterfalls, and sparsely forested areas. The villages of the Merina people are dispersed throughout the rugged hillsides as we travel. After checking in at the hotel, we go on a night walk in the Andasibe region to see the wildlife that are active at night, including nocturnal lemurs.

Following breakfast, we will go on a morning excursion to the Special Reserve of Andasibe, where you can see the numerous species that live in the forest. The Indri, the island’s largest lemur, will be specifically sought out by your guide. With distinctive wildlife and plants, this 810 ha refuge is special. It has a large variety of endemic orchids, a canopy, and creatures including chameleons, tenrecs, and many other birds. The V.O.I.M.M. is where we go in the afternoon. A neighborhood park. By generating income for the local community through reforestation programs, this reserve offers a viable method of preserving the region’s surviving rainforests. A variety of fauna, including brown lemurs, indri, chameleons, geckos, and birds, can be found in this area.

After being transferred back to Antananarivo, go on a bicycle excursion up to the Ambohimanga King’s Palace, which is where the Merina Kingdom was founded. It is Madagascar’s sole UNESCO World Heritage Site. It still has spiritual and holy importance today.

After breakfast, we will return to Tana, where your lemur adventure concludes.
