Night at the Palmarium Hotel Reserve.

This morning, following a satisfying breakfast, our knowledgeable local guides will accompany you on a captivating exploration of the reserve, where you will have the opportunity to witness the remarkable array of endemic species that make this reserve truly exceptional. The duration of this visit is estimated to be approximately 2 hours, during which you will encounter a diverse range of lemurs, such as the Indri-Indri, brown lemurs, crowned lemurs, and Balc Macaco, among others.

In this remarkable sanctuary, you can observe at least four species of lemurs, including the bamboo lemur, the black and white ruffed lemur, the Golden Sifaka, and the ring-tailed lemur, which some might recognize as King Julien from the popular Madagascar cartoon.

By the evening, we will do a night walk into the park managed by the community to spot the smallest lemurs, called "Mouse" lemurs, other reptiles, and all-night-active animals.

Back to the hotel, and the rest of the day at your lodging at the same hotel.
