Photos from our last stay in Madagascar – Vakona Lodge, and the Andasibe rainforest. It’s also where we went to Lemur Island, which provides a safe and natural, though not entirely free, home for ex-pets and their descendants. Being surrounded by water, they’re safe from predators and won’t go anywhere: lemurs can’t swim.
As ex-pets, they can’t live in the wild, but they’re also more used to people than even the Palmarium lemurs. Which means they’re all over you.
Some highlights below, but see the full gallery here.

More videos to follow, then that’s it. Though I will post again when I’ve had the chance to pick out a few for competitions.
