THINGS TO DO IN ANDASIBE ANALAMAZAOTRA, MADAGASCAR
See what to do in Andasibe / Analamazaotra, Madagascar. Watch the raw and unfiltered vlog of adventuring1.
Travel Notes: - Filmed 18th-21st August 2017 - When you arrive at Ivato International Airport (Antananarivo), you will be hounded by a bevy of baggage porters. Do not feel obligated. - In Antananarivo, we stayed at Hotel Relais de la Haute Ville. No complaints. - Would not recommend walking around Haute Ville at night (not well lit). We were harassed and pick pocketed. - Travelled between Antananarivo and Andasibe with Espace Mada Tours (Driver - Sheruf). Would recommend. - Reserve Peyrieras was amazing, Chameleons right up close. You will see chameleons all over the place, but not with such variety in one spot. Had mixed feelings about some of the handling of the chameleons though. - In Andasibe, we stayed in Analamazotra Hotel. Very unique pink huts. - From what we could gather, the park area is split between two sections - Andasibe-Mantadia National Park and Analamazaotra Special Reserve. - Andasibe-Mantadia National Park had very few people but the lemurs seemed harder to track down. - Analamazaotra Special Reserve had indri lemur everywhere. There were more people here. See if you can ask your guide to track down some lemurs away from the crowds. Our guide, Daisy, was fantastic - he could make all manner of bird and lemur calls. - Vakona Reserve was great in terms of the lemur interaction. However, I had mixed feelings about the fossa enclosure and the lemurs being stuck on the islands. - Be sure to try Three Horses Beer, zebu steak and banana flambe. - Madagascar is the home of vanilla - try to find some along the way.
