Indian Ocean Islands: Madagascar, Andasibe National Park, Lemurs Island & a Chameleon Park.
A day trip (a long day trip, around 14 hours) from Antananarivo to see Lemurs and chameleons plus a few other animals.
The drive to and from Andasibe national park was interesting. Again, the main road had many obstacles to constantly have to avoid, huge chunks of the road missing, people walking, cyclists, hand wheeled carts, motorbikes and so many trucks along with vehicles just parked taking up a whole lane as you come around a bend or in a village. Our driver did an amazing job, especially on the way back in the dark. This is the main road to the Port, so there is a constant line of trucks navigating windy, mountain roads.
But, it was well worth the long day to see Lemurs & chameleons in the wild as well as more Lemurs in a rescue park (some people keep them as pets for a while) & chameleons, geckos & huge moths in a park.
I could watch Lemurs all day, they are hilarious.
