On the way from Tana to Tamatave, everyone passes by Andasibe which hosts natural parks with lemurs and other animals. It is therefore a very popular destination for tourists and since I was there in 2007 (check out the pictures from my previous trip), Andasibe has grown quite a bit.
This time, we didn’t do the day tour as we had done it already in 2007 and had seen enough lemurs at our other destinations. But we did the Community Park’s night walk where we saw a mouse lemur (no pictures, unfortunately), an owl, a frog, and more.
