They have 5 different species of lemurs that are free-range. The guides are knowledgeable and make an effort to get you close to the animals.

Because it is a small park, I was able to reach lemurs quickly. They offer car transfer that helped me because I didn't know how to use public transportation to reach the park. The park is small and the tour ends quickly. No real time for taking pictures. Besides, I was a solo visitor and the accept for car transfer two or more, which made me wait for some time until they told me I can use the park with some other visitors. Other than this, I liked the visit.

Nice experience visiting the Lemurs Park. This is a small botanical garden and lemur reserve covering 12 acres, and is located 22 km southwest of Antananarivo, Madagascar.

Great sanctuary park We booked over official website tour with included transportation, guide, lunch ( great food) and drink.. Deal was supper good, driver came on time as it can be quite long drive to the park due to bad roads and traffic. We visited at the end of our two weeks tour where we previously saw lemurs in nature, so at the beginning we felt sad seeing rescued animals that was captured due to humans egoism. Park is doing their best to recover them and some of them get ready for go back in the natural habitat ( unfortunately small percentage, but at least young once). We saw 5 different kinds of lemurs, turtle and chameleons. Highly recommend to visit and support this park.

I would highly recommend a visit to this Park. It is located about 1-1/2 hour drive from downtown Tana. It is a Private Sanctuary started over 22 years ago by a few French and Japanese ex-pats. All the Lemurs were rescued from private owners as it is illegal to own them. Because of there rescue they can not be released back into the wild. They go through a rewilding process but can never take care of themselves. They are well taken care of. They are fed and have Vet visit around once per week. They are free to roam on the 5 hectares. There are approximately 70 and they are multiple different kinds of Lemurs. They co exist but in small family groups. What is great about coming here is that the Lemurs are not very fearful of humans so they will scurry around you and will not run if you are but 3 ft away. You can get some very closeup pictures. Cost to get is 70 Ariary and is open from 9 am to 4 pm. There is no real set time for their feeding but we found that they were hanging out close to their feeding areas. You must have a Guide and your Tip to them is up to you. The tour is about 1-1/2 hours. Our guide was Princsa and she was very knowledgeable about Lemurs and the environment. She has been working there for about 9 years and is working on her University degree in Social Communication and Environmental Management and planning on getting her Master's. She spoke very good English. There is also a small restaurant on site which was good and the tables sit outside overlooking the countryside. Prices are reasonable. 22 to 35 Ariary for lunch and drinks 5 to 10 Ariary. There is also a small souvenir store.
