Here you will spend time exploring the Berenty Reserve, looking for lemurs and other wildlife, with an experienced guide.
Safari
You will probably see at least three species of lemurs including the popular Ring-Tailed Lemurs, cuddly and comical Sifakas, and Brown Lemurs. This should rank among your best wildlife experiences ever. There are about 56 species of resident birds, including the large Madagascar buzzard.
