The National Park contains 11 different species of lemur and over 300 different species of frogs, promising a large variety of animals during your tour.

Andasibe Nature Reserve – Situated in the foothills of the eastern escarpment of Madagascar. The village offers a perfect base to explore the local national park. The 154 km2 park consists of two protected areas: the special Reserve of Indri d’ Analamazaotra and the National Park of Mantadia Analamazaotra, which is better known as “Périnet”.
Lemur Island – Here you will be able to meet the resident lemurs up close and personal!
Vakona Forest Lodge – Surrounded by a dense and peaceful forest, Vakona Forest Lodge offers comfortable accommodation just 1km from the national park. Each of the private bungalows has its own terrace where you can relax to the sound of wildlife after a day of lemur viewing, horse-riding, or walking.
* The Andasibe Reserve Package is also available as a Classic Package.

Packing:
Visas: A visa is required to enter the territory of Madagascar and can easily be obtained upon arrival at the airport of Antananarivo with a validity of up to 90 days. Tourists staying for less than one month, can purchase a visa for 80’000 Ariary (around 23-27 €). Paying with the exact amounts or small currency is advised. No photographs are required, however please ensure that passports are valid for at least 6 months after return date. In addition to the entry visa, the Malagasy government is proposing the introduction of a frontier levy of 10 € in the near future, still to be confirmed and variable at short notice.
Gratuities: If you feel you have been looked after well by your crew or guides, and you wish to show your appreciation for their services, a monetary tip is very welcomed by those in Madagascar. Here follows some suggested guidelines:
We would ask that you please reserve your generosity for tipping for services only, and not providing free hand-outs to children or adults, as this encourages begging.
*Please note that Malagasy drivers speak basic English and have general knowledge of history, culture and the fauna & flora in Madagascar. A supplement is payable should you require a specialist guide to accompany you throughout the tour.
