Venturing into the unknown
... bags to packhorse Richard, we arrived at the village of Antsapanana. From here it was a mere 1500m to the Andisibe Mantadia national park entrance, where we planned to camp for the next few nights. As we idled down the hills, the calls of the endemic and critically endangered Indri were all around us. The largest of the lemurs, the Indri are found in only a few places in Madagascar, with the largest population being found here. The eastern side ...
