Day trip to Andasibe Lemurs

My guide, Mr Gideona, was both an exceptional driver but helpful beyond what was expected. A lovely person. The drive to the park was in itself an experience and education. The visit in the parks and reserve was brilliant.

We booked this 2 days before arriving in Madagascar since the quarantine was lifted and we had two extra days. We put a call out on Tripadvisor for things to do from Tana and they suggested this trip (so did many others) so we booked it. Due to the timing, there was no way to pay the deposit so it was all done on the honor system which was appreciated. Excellent service from pickup to drop off. They even talked to our hotel security guard to see if he would escort us to a dinner location and back. They provided great information, were understanding of our jet lag and need for a short nap between tours and even helped us order a variety of items at lunch so we could try all the local cuisine. I would highly recommend this trip and this company!

Even though 1 day is seldom sufficient for experiencing East central Andasibe region of this vast and mystic island nation, if you are time strapped like us, speak little to no French or Malagasy for that matter, then this tour should be a no brainer. In a short window of time (8 hours plus drive time from Tana) Dadamanga is able to pack an agenda with so much variety like 1. Get to see this beautiful rainforest that involves a moderate hike, 2. Sotting and getting a flavor of lemurs and their colonies/communities in wild over there, 3. Experiencing a whole slew of lemurs (landing on your shoulders and taking off from there) in a semi wild Vakona Private reserve island, and 4. Coming across lemurs in the wild at Peyrieras reserve as well as getting up close and personal with some of the wildest native creatures of Madagascar including some wild Chameleons, snakes, frogs, insect/moth species at Peyrieras - This all goes fast but is worth the time, money and effort. Be ready, be fit (workout before you arrive) and Dadamanga personally, professionally takes care of the rest right from pickup at hotel in Tana early in the morning, all the fees to reserves, lunch and drop you off at Tana at your hotel in the night. Did I mention the lunch at Vakona - what a heavenly treat!! Thanks Dadamanga.
