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

We land on the south-west side of the island, in Anjiabe village. Face the jungle and start our 6 hours tour. And the real fun starts here! Within the first half hour you'll meet lots of special plants. Mangoes, cocoa, soursop, bread and jackfruit trees, pepper bushes, bananas, cola nuts, pineapples, wild chillies and lots of vanilla. And best of all, we will taste all of them! Our destination is reaching the summit of Komba at 622 meters. In the dense sultry jungle it is not an average forest walk. But it's well worth it, because along we come across tiny jungle villages, where we meet the natives and see how they still live together with nature. You can only see this in Attenborough films! Reaching the top the clearing has a fantastic view of the surrounding archipelago. Here we rest, enjoy refreshments, fruits and raw sugar cane to re-energise for the 2 hour descent on the other side.

r Sanctuary, at the edge of Ampangorina village. As we approach the Lemur Sanctuary, we will encounter more and more amusing lemurs in the last hour and a half of our trek, in the company of numerous chameleons, geckos, giant tortoises, snakes and many more. In winter time the Lemurs are extremely friendly but never aggressive. They jump on us gently and eat bananas out of our hands, but they never steal or bite. We will walk through the park, admire the wildlife then through the jungle walkway to the village to see and buy artwork by local artists. Ebony, rosewood, mangrove sculptures, folk art tablecloths, clothes, paintings... Arriving in Ampangorina village, you can choose to taste our partner's fantastic food in a real, traditional Malagasy restaurant in the centre of the village, or you can choose to eat at our local partner's exclusive restaurant on the cliffs with a fabulous view of the ocean.
