Perinet Tour

Day 1: ANTANANARIVO – ANDASIBE NATIONAL PARK

After breakfast, your personal driver will take you to the “Haute Ville” to enjoy the view of Tana. You can visit the Rova Palace and the Museum of Andafy Avaratra if you wish, but the entrance fees are not included in our price. The centre provides opportunities for close viewing of chameleons, leaf-tailed geckos, butterflies, crocodiles, Verreaux’s sifaka, and common brown lemurs that are habituated to visitors. This visit is optional and can be skipped if you prefer.

You will then pass through the large town of Moramanga, where we will stop for lunch and allow you to photograph local people at the open market. Upon arrival at Andasibe National Park, you will have the option to take a night walk to see mouse lemurs and other nocturnal wildlife.

Day 2: TREK TO PERINET PARK

After breakfast, drive to the park gate and meet your personal guide, then begin your trek in the park. Andasibe hosts 11 species of lemurs, of which the largest, the Indri Indri, is easily spotted thanks to its impressive calls. It cannot survive in captivity, so it can only be admired in its natural habitat. The park also shelters several species of birds, reptiles, insects, and amphibians.

After the visit, return to the hotel for lunch. In the afternoon, explore Lemur Island, also known as Vakona Reserve. This reserve contains around 60 groups of lemurs, as well as tenrecs, birds, and crocodiles. Close photographs are guaranteed. After the visit, return to the hotel and stay overnight.

Day 3: ANDASIBE PARK – TAMATAVE – MAHAMBO BEACH

After breakfast, check out from the hotel, pack your luggage in the car, and drive to Toamasina (Tamatave). Continue onward to Mahambo Beach. The distance from Andasibe Park to Mahambo Beach is 319 km and takes about four and a half hours along the seaside. Swimming is safe here, and fishing and diving are possible activities.

Day 4: MAHAMBO BEACH – SOANIERANA IVONGO – SAINTE MARIE ISLAND

Leave Mahambo in the morning and drive to Soanierana Ivongo with your driver. The boat trip to Sainte Marie Island departs at 10:00 am, so you need to arrive in Soanierana Ivongo at least one hour earlier, as the boat team must register your passport at the gendarmerie or police station for administrative purposes. The boat trip to Sainte Marie Island takes a couple of hours. Upon arrival, your tour with us ends, and you will continue independently.
