Day 3: Andasibe Perinet Reserve, MadagascarThe National Park of Andasibe-Mantadia, Perinet Reserve is situated here and covers an area of 810 hectares at an elevation of about 1000 metres (3300 feet). It is the best place to see the 'Indri indri' Lemur on your Madagascar tour. Lemur's are endangered species and are also the largest of the Lemurs. These Lemurs can be seen bounding from tree to tree and their territorial calls can be heard at least a mile away. Because some Indris in the Perinet Reserve see people frequently, one can follow them unobtrusively and watch for hours as they go about their business. Indri Lemurs live in small family groups and feed on a wide variety of leaves and fruits. This mountainous massif has many tree ferns and orchids not to mention the many bird, Chameleon and invertebrate species. You will have breakfast at the hotel and then depart for the entrance to the Park, this is a 1.5km (0.93 miles) journey. There are various optional walks available for your Madagascar tour, a 2-hour walk, 3 ½ hour walk and a 5 hour walk.
An official obligatory guide is included for the group on their Madagascar tour- if any individuals wish to walk separately from the group they would need to hire a guide at the Park office.(3 clients per guide) The vehicle will wait at the gate for the last of the group to finish and then return you to your hotel. It is also possible to take a walk to the village and back to the hotel on foot. The rest of the afternoon of your Madagascar tour is free to have lunch and visit the village. In the evening of your Madagascar tour you will have a rare opportunity to observe the Lemurs at night. Dinner will be after this excursion - and again there are many choices available. Breakfast. All other meals are to the client's own expense. |
