Good, short tour. Saw some lemurs, owl and chameleons. Doesn't get many visitors so guides know exactly where the animals are as they don't move much!

Quite disappointed in this park. The guides weren't too interested, looked at their feet on the trail and after about 45 minutes took us back to the entrance. We mentioned that we had the whole day ahead of us, we walked another 10 minutes and that was it. The wildlife is great though.

I enjoyed spending a couple of hours exploring this park with a couple of local guides. The guides were great and were enthusiastic about preserving and flora and fauna of their local area. We didn't see a lot of lemurs but spotted a giant coua, chameleons, spiders, reptiles, etc. Also learned about the local flora from the guides. A visit here helps support the local community and preserve. the park for future generations.

Possibility to see wild lemurs. You have to go there with a local guide, whom you have to pay extra apart from the park tickets. They know how to attract the animals yet there is not really much to see in this park compared to the others in Madagascar.
