Our first outing in Madagascar. We visited a community project and helped their reforestation efforts by planting 6 tiny trees. When they are grown up the lemurs will play in them.
Viaggiatore Maybe you should stay for a few months - they will need watering regularly. 🙈
AC TC on Tour Not an issue here. We got soaked on our walk this morning. Annual rainfall is 1700mm (67 inches).

Very wet but ultimately rewarding trek to see babakoto (indri), diademed sifaka and brown lemurs. And Parson's chameleon. Unfortunately cameras got very, very wet.

Rufus is a lovely very name. The one a couple of days ago had a most strange name for such a cutie 😀😀😂

A very small reserve entirely owned and run by the local community to protect the ring-tailed lemurs.
