Tonight, set out on an evening walk through a reserve for an opportunity to spot some of Madagascar’s elusive nocturnal creatures. When the heat of the day subsides and the sun begins to set, many species of smaller primates and amphibians come out of their hiding spots. During your hike you may be able to encounter such fascinating species as Goodman’s mouse lemur and greater dwarf lemur. As you make your way through the forest, look out for leaf-tailed geckos, tree frogs and chameleons dozing off on tree branches. Upon the conclusion of your experience you will be transferred back to your accommodation.

Enjoy a refined and relaxed dining experience at Manjarano Lodge & Spa, where meals are served at the lodge’s welcoming restaurant and lounge area.

Andasibe–Mantadia National Park is best known for its sizable population of indri lemurs, one of the world’s largest lemur species. These charming primates have a thick black-and-white coat and are known for their haunting songs that echo through the forest.

Today, venture deep into Madagascar’s eastern rainforest alongside your local guide in search of these remarkable creatures, as well as many other species that call this biodiverse region home. Your trail winds beneath towering trees, past hidden lakes, and through a part of the park inhabited by two separate indri families.

Enjoy a visit to Vakona’s Lemur Island, where rescued lemurs roam freely in a natural forest setting. A short canoe ride takes you across to the main island, home to common brown lemurs, black-and-white ruffed lemurs, and bamboo lemurs. You'll have the chance to observe these beautiful primates up close as they move through the trees around you. Then, take a longer canoe ride to visit additional islands, including one inhabited by ring-tailed lemurs. This is a great opportunity to observe these curious primates up close in a semi-wild environment.

Immerse yourself in the Malagasy culture on a guided visit to the village of Andasibe. Witness the daily life go by as you explore this quaint and colorful settlement. With your private guide by your side, walk the narrow cobbled streets and stroll past vibrant market stalls.

Stop by the old colonial train station; take in its alpine architecture and hear about its history from your guide. This experience allows you to truly see the everyday Malagasy life firsthand.
