Madagascar’s wonderful island inland 9 days * private charter version

Fly to Tananarive, pick up by a special car, and stay in a private mansion built in the 19 th century and now owned by the consul of Monaco.

In the morning visit to the Royal Palace of the 17 th and 18 th century rulers of the Kingdom of Merina; Stroll through neighborhoods while retaining colonial architecture and traditional dwellings.

Then take a 3.5-hour bus to Andasibe, and visit the ecological reserve founded by French zoologists. Unlike the virgin rainforest, you can get close contact with reptiles and two species of lemurs (Vickers’ crowned lemur and brown lemur) here. Put on your headlights at night, enter the rainforest to explore the secrets, and explore the creatures that only come out to move at night.

In order to better witness the activities of wild lemurs, you will set off in the early morning and follow the guide to hike for 2 to 3 hours into the depths of Andasibe Reserve, looking for Indri lemur, the largest lemur species. At the same time, there is a chance to see 4 to 5 other species of lemurs.

Indri lemurs are nearly 1 m long and have a special call, which resounds through the rainforest. They love freedom, and there is no precedent for successful cage keeping. Due to deforestation and environmental destruction, they are now on the verge of extinction.

Then walk into the Waknu Private Reserve, where four species of lemurs (brown lemur, bamboo lemur, white-striped folded lemur and crowned lemur) live. Stroll the village in the evening and visit the railway station, market and streets built in 1930.
