We started the day off with a morning trek in the reserve to spot lemurs, including the largest lemur, the indiri, in their natural habitat. Trekked around the circuit in the park and saw the indiri, golden lemurs, various chameleons, a strange bug, some birds and a boa constrictor lying in the grass outside the visitor centre. Fortunately, we didn’t spot that until after the trek!
The indiri were amazing and we had a chance to stand below them and listen to them scream their loud call, which almost sounds like a whale! Managed to get some decent photos before we headed back to the bus.
We returned to the lodge for lunch and I had the zebu wok, which was really good! We then got back on the bus for the bumpy and windy ride back to ‘Tana. On the way we stopped in a local village called Perinet for a short walking tour. Was a nice experience to check out how the local people live.
We got back on the bus and carried on to ‘Tana. Got back when it was dark and we had some supper quickly before heading to bed to get some sleep before our early flight to Morondava. I had the zebu and pork spaghetti, which was good. Set my alarm for 3:30 and headed to bed.
