This morning, we leave Tana going to our destination of today that is Andasibe, taking approximately 4 hour drive. It is well known for its rare orchids as well as the Indri indri, the largest lemur in the country that can be observed all year round. Upon your arrival, direct drive toward Vakona reserve for our first visit where four species of day lemurs including the black and white ruffed-lemur, the browns, ring-tails, the dancing sifakas and the modest eastern bamboo lemur, would be ready to entertain visitors. You’d be enjoying the unforgettable fun time spent at this so-called ‘lemurs island’. Then, this evening, we shall get ready for a nocturnal walk expecting to see some night active animals including mouse lemurs, aye-aye, the fat-tailed dwarf lemur, some eerie insects, reptiles, tiny frogs and chameleons, ground chameleon, Parson chameleon (the biggest of all chameleons), long-eared owl and so on.

Berenty is a private-owned reserve situated around 80 km from Fort Dauphin. More than 5 groups ring-tailed lemurs are recorded in this reserve; the dancing sifakas are the most astonishing animals. Flying fox and the white-footed sportive lemur active at night can be found here. Visitors will then undoubtedly put Berenty on top of their favorite memorable places due to its unique biodiversity, and the fun they have with the lemurs when seeing them dancing naturally and freely along the open wide flat trails of this reserve allowing the ring-tails, the sifakas to perform on their own. Besides, birds are also among the interests that visitors would not take for granted since the Giant Coua and so many more will be easily spotted in this reserve. Overnight at Berenty Lodge (Top)

You shall have a full day visit at the reserve walking along the wide well swept paths. The lemur Catta Maki known as the ring-tailed lemurs, are very friendly and seem to be very happy for photographs.

At night, look for the white-footed sportive lemur, the Grey mouse lemur, the newly recognized red-and-grey mouse lemur. Walking through the reserve will also grant you the opportunity of seeing some of the 103 bird species, 56 of which breed here, and observe many prolific reptiles (various chameleons species, lizards, the endangered radiated and spider tortoises and the Madagascar ground boa).Overnight at Berenty Lodge
