Full-day jungle trek on Nosy Komba (Lemur island) with the Black Lemur Sanctuary

It is a real 6 hours jungle trek, a wonderful experience. It's like being in a David Attenburough film. Funny lemurs and chameleons, exotic plants, like Jackfruit, cocoa, lychee, pepper and coffee bushes, vanilla and a lot more. It's not a simple walk on a paved nature trail, so for prepared travellers only. After reaching the island peak, in the second half of the trek we meet more and more lemurs, who are very friendly in winter, even jumping on us gently and accepting bananas from our hands, to eat sitting on our shoulders or heads. It's a real jungle adventure! You'll encounter real jungle villages with friendly indigenous people and such flora and fauna that you have only seen in nature films. During the tour you can taste things like the fresh cocoa fruit (the flesh of cocoa), the sweetness of raw sugar cane, jackfruit or soursop, 8 kinds of mango in season and other special fruits that don't even have a name in English or French! Try it and you will never forget nor regret it!

Unique Overnight private Jungle Trekking in Lokobe National Park

A night jungle trek is like no other. Fantastic atmosphere, extraordinary creatures. Only someone who's been on one knows that. A dense, humid, sultry dark black jungle, broken only by the light of our headlamps and torches, and here and there we come across special animals, either resting or hunting at night. Night lemurs, special dwarf and other chameleons, night geckos, giant snakes, etc... And, if that's not enough, sleeping in the middle of a national park in a well-kept jungle, woken up by the cries of lemur families and falling asleep among the sounds of the jungle, is like being in a nature movie. And on top of that, there's the chance to relax on a completely private sandy beach, snorkel on the coral reefs and even try paddling a traditional Malagasy canoe.
