Summary
Andasibe is a stunning rainforest park, about 4 hours’ drive from Antananarivo city. The journey to the East offers first time visitors to Madagascar a gentle introduction to rural life with rice fields, redbrick houses and roadside stalls selling seasonal fruits and vegetables lining the route. There are 11 species of lemurs to spot as you walk through the rainforest. The Indri indri which is the largest living species with a barely visible tail, black and white markings and a surprised teddy–bear face, this Lemur is one of the few animals in the world that cannot survive in captivity.
