An EASY two hour ride from Tana on a paved (tarred) road, the Andasibe area encompasses the Andasibe (Perinet) National Park and more remote Mantadia National Park. On the day I did my Andasibe National Park hike with my private park guide, I encountered rain which made the viewing difficult of the diadem sifaka and the famous black and white Indri, not only the largest lemur but also the only one without a long tail. The night jar seemed impervious to the rain and the clicking of the camera!
