Brown lemur, Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, Madagascar
Chameleon, Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, Madagascar
Andasibe covers an area of montane rainforest at altitudes between 930 metres and 1,040 metres.
It is the best park for the indri, the largest lemur, and two of the 62 resident groups have been habituated, making them easy to see. There are eight other species of lemur in Andasibe and the most commonly seen include the grey bamboo lemurs, brown lemurs and woolly lemurs. There are some wonderful chameleons in the reserve including the two-foot long Parson’s chameleon and the tiny nose-horned chameleon. Frogs are plentiful and birding highlights include Madagascar blue pigeon, coral-billed nuthatches and the Madagascar long-eared owl.
All exploring is done on foot along trails that weave through the forest: expeditions can vary in length from one hour to five. Walks are particularly rewarding in the early morning when indri calls, sounding rather like a weird forest whalesong, echo through the air.

Madagascar is a country where you need to pack a sense of humour - sometimes things do go wrong, as it is new to the tourist market. However, the reward is that you have got there before anyone else!
