Recommendation Rate:1. Closely Interact with Lemurs on Vakona Lemur Island
Primitive rainforests usually present the realest living environment of wild lemurs. As a matter of fact, it’s not easy to get close to lemurs in the desolate forests. However, you can do that on private Lemur Island. Road condition on Lemur Island in rainy season is better than other uninhabited areas, too. After rowing a boat to reach here, you may be surprised by the friendly lemurs. They may climb up your body and wait for your feeding.
