Lemurs Park

 

Lemurs Park (Highway RN 1 towards Imeritsiatosika, Katsaoka) – located just west of the capital, within a 5-hectare nature reserve, one can observe nine species of lemur, including the vulnerable lesser bamboo lemur and the endangered crowned sifaka. These charismatic primates are free-roaming, and can be seen at amazingly close quarters on a guided walking safari.

Other highlights of the park include its stunning panoramic vistas and an open-air vivarium that’s home to chameleons, turtles, iguanas and more. Of the 70 species of plants found within the reserve, 40 are native to Madagascar. Admission: 40,000 Ar. (adult), 20,000 (children ages 5-12 years). Hours: 8:30 am – 4:00 pm daily.
