FOSA

It is an agile predator, equipped with semi-retractable claws and a tail as long as its body, which it uses as a counterbalance to move through the trees

INDRI INDRI

The Indri Indri (known locally as Babakoto) is the largest living lemur in Madagascar, famous for its haunting, whale-like songs that echo through the eastern rainforests.

Calumma parsonii

The Parson’s Chameleon (Calumma parsonii) is one of the largest and heaviest chameleon species in the world, native to the humid rainforests of eastern and northern Madagascar.

Madagascar's wildlife :

Often called the "eighth continent," Madagascar is a world leader in biodiversity, housing 5% of all known plant and animal species on just 0.4% of the Earth's landmass. Due to its 88 million years of isolation, approximately 90% of its wildlife is endemic:

  • Lemurs: over 100 species of these unique primates, ranging from the tiny Mouse Lemur to the "singing" Indri.
  • Unique Flora: home to six of the world's eight baobab species and over 1,000 types of orchids.
  • Vibrant Reptiles: Roughly half of the world's chameleon species reside here, including the world's smallest reptile.
  • The Fossa: The island's top predator, an elusive carnivore that looks like a cross between a cat and a mongoose.
  • Birds: Madagascar’s birdlife is as spectacular and unique as its lemurs, making it a bucket-list destination for birders.

Testimonials

"At the beginning, we were a bit hesitant to book a trip to Madagascar because of the logistics, but Herizo, from Gasy Lenz made everything very smooth. From the moment we landed in Tana, we felt completely looked after. And our driver was a true professional, navigating the bumpy roads with ease, and our local guides had an incredible eye for spotting animals we would have totally missed. It was the perfect balance of adventure and comfort. We couldn't have asked for a better organized tour! Misaotra betsaka”

Thomas & Maddie H., USA, September 2024

"If you love unique wildlife, stop searching and book now. Seeing the Indri-Indri lemurs in Andasibe, admiring the fosa at Kirindy and watching the sunset at the Avenue of the Baobabs were moments I’ll never forget. Gasy Lenz team clearly has deep local roots; they took us to hidden spots away from the big crowds and introduced us to local communities that made the trip feel so authentic. Madagascar is a magical place, and this team knows exactly how to show it to you. Definitely, I will come back again. Thank you friends!”
