About this experience
Starting on the main square of Hell Ville, where Nosy Be's big market and our office are. We dive into the hustle and colourful cavalcade of the market.
Then Lemuria Land. In the beautiful jungle park you can get up close and personal with more than 10 species of lemur. It's home to giant tortoises over 200 years old, the largest chameleons, crocodiles and many other interesting species to see and even touch. We visit their ylang-ylang distillery to admire it in amidst a cloud of intoxicating fragrance.
After, either lunch in the best Malagasy restaurant or go on to visit the famous Sacred Tree. It's like the Tree of Souls in the movie Avatar. With luck, we meet a friendly lemur family too. Then we go on to the hidden waterfall, but before arriving we have lunch at the restaurant of the local fish smoker.
After a 5-10 min jungle walk, head for the waterfall's cooling lake.
If we still have time we visit the beautiful Andilana beach, or the Mont Passot lookout, with a magnificent view.
