📍 Destination Overview
Andasibe, a rainforest town in Madagascar about 150 km from the capital, is the gateway to the country's most accessible rainforest. Andasibe-Mantadia Park protects the indri, the largest lemur, whose dawn call carries for kilometres — the forest's loveliest melody. It also holds rare orchids and many species over 80% endemic — a microcosm of Madagascar's biodiversity.
