Analamazaotra Special Reserve

Reviewed By Rainforests_Rollerco

We visited this park whilst staying at Vakona Lodge. Out guide purchased the tickets and arranged the local park guide for us, to start with we found it quite busy with lots of other people all trying to watch and follow the same lemurs. However as our walk progressed everyone seem to head off in different directions and the second half of our walk was much quieter. We spent around 3.5-4 hours in the park & saw numerous types of birds, Sifaka lemurs, brown lemurs and Indri lemurs. Hearing the indri song up close was amazing and by this point it was just us and our guides! We also had a young lady with us that was a trainee guide, she lives in the local village and is training to be licensed as a national park guide - great to see and hear about the initiatives in place to introduce and teach the new generations about the wildlife around them.

Reviewed By Katana107 - Abbotsford, Canada

I really enjoyed my night walk (the forest one ) and my day time walk. On the day walks, we saw brown lemurs and the indri indri up close. We saw a parson's chameleon and several leaf tailed geckos. On the night walk, we saw a small species of chameleon, leaf tailed chameleon, nocturnal lemur (I can't remember the name) and a mouse lemur.

Vakona Private Reserve

Reviewed By LynseyUK55 - Stafford, United Kingdom

I feel they do some good work here the lemurs which live here cannot be returned to the wild. We saw many Lemurs wild on our travels however to get up close and personal was an amazing experience. We went with a guide and met the brown Lemurs first, they were naughty and greddy however great fun. One even stayed on our shoulder to trek with us. We then saw the small and beautiful bamboo Lemur with a baby, so beautiful however they stayed at a distance. We then got a canoe to the dancing Lemur who did just that, incredible. We then went on a canoe ride through the beautiful forest to see King Julian and his pals, they were fun and very interested in us, It was a great experience and I understand people will have their own views on this place however they have a huge amount of space to live in, they dont have to come to the tourists which some didnt and I feel they are trying to do some good work. I would suggest a visit if in the area you will have fab time.

Vohimana must be VOIMMA

Reviewed By Polsnt - Darmstadt, Germany

We spent a full day visiting Vohimana Park. The life and the landscape of the park was amazing. You start by crossing the railroad to arrive to the Vohimana Visitor Center, where you can actually stay overnight. The views from there are amazing, sorrounded by a waterfall and a very beautiful valley. Then, we continued the trek from there spotting different chamaleons and a lot of birds. We even had the chance to see the beetle giraffe. We would recommend this park to everyone and of you have the time, to spend a night there.
