Andasibe-Mantadia, the Indri realm

Just 145 km east of Antananarivo, the Andasibe-Mantadia park is the easiest way to meet the largest living lemur: the Indri, whose morning song can be heard up to 3 km away.

The park covers 15,500 hectares of mid-altitude rainforest. It's home to 12 species of lemurs and over 100 species of birds. The best time to hear the Indri sing is between 7 and 10 AM.
