My visit in 2023 was very nice. But after June 2024 the entry prices doubled. Especially for foreigners the price is high. They used to have a middle price for foreigners who are residents, but they've scraped that now, so anyone who was not born in Madagascar has to pay 10 times the local rate. The prices on the website also aren't up to date. The trip to get to the parc is unpleasant because the roads are terrible. You can go by car or by tuktuk, but it will cost a lot. We went by tuktuk, but when we arrived we found out how much the price has increased. On top of that you get charged extra if you want a guide, and if you want to walk a bit further to see the waterfall. It felt like we were being extorted. They also do not have a card machine so if you don't bring enough cash you are basically stuck. Because everything was so expensive, we opted to go without a tour guide, but then you don't get a chance to hold or feed the animals. Also if you do get a tour guide, ask specifically for a zoologist because the other guides cannot feed the animals. Overall, I would say that the experience you get is not really worth the price you pay.

It's a massive park with about an 8km loop. The local guide, Denis is very knowledgeable and can speak the local languages as well as English fluently. Make sure you are mentally prepared for the uphill climbs the trail has to offer. Dress appropriately, preferably some trousers as the grass does hinder the path in some places. Other than that well worth out trip

Beautiful and inspiring place. They do a lot of good work here like reforestation & holding a weekly Saturday school & hosting trainings & research. Worth the trip in. If you’re walking from the RN5 it’s like a 45 minute walk.

The most important thing to know is that this zoo only has lemurs. The entrance fee is Ar20000 for foreigners. They have 2 waterfalls though what they call big waterfall is actually around a 10-12 feet drop. But quite enjoyable. It's mostly a place to walk around if the weather is good and take pics.
