Lemurs' Park, Antananarivo Province, Madagascar

4.5 (884 reviews) Saturday: 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Antananarivo Zoos • Parks

Recommended Visit While in Tana

We were in Antananarivo for a day and decided to make a trip to the Lemur Park. It was well worth the visit. Around an hour from city center, the park offers the opportunity to see several different types of Lemurs up close. It is a sanctuary but the Lemurs are free to roam; some are naturally curious and followed us around. Although we saw Lemurs in several of the parks across Madagascar we also really enjoyed this experience at the Lemur Park, and the ability to see these interesting animals up close. The guide also was helpful in explaining the different species. We visited here before our two-week tour around Madagascar and it was informative to have this "introduction" to Lemurs that we could refer to and remember before seeing them in the other parks as well.

Excellent place to see many species of Lemurs
This was a great little park to walk around, where the Lemurs are free to roam. Although there is a fence around the park - this is to keep the humans out, rather than the Lemurs in - they can leave if they want (but they choose to stay). There is a wide variety of native trees & plants for those people that are also interested the native flora of Madagascar. The park itself is well maintained, with very knowledgeable & friendly staff. The pathways are easy to navigate. Depending on traffic, the park is 1-1.5 hours (25km) from Antananarivo. A comfortable trip if you only have half a day available.

LEMURS
I came to Madagascar to see lemurs. They are primitive primates, dating back in time to before monkeys and apes arose. When Madagascar geologically broke off from Africa and drifted away, the lemurs on Madagascar had the primate realm all to themselves. No monkeys or apes. Lemurs diversified. So many species, including one with lemurs the size of today's gorillas. Humans first came to this island about 2000 years ago. They ultimately wiped out several lemurs species, including the largest one. But there are still many dozen of species alive here. Lemurs have great leaping ability and can be very vocal. Most of them are nocturnal. There are six species of lemurs here. They are interesting to watch and listen to.
