Summary:
We got off to a rocky start. Our tour guide didn’t show up, but they quickly found us a new guide who was amazing!! We stopped all along the route to see plants, trees and chameleons along the road. We headed out to the reserve and experienced so many lemurs in their natural surroundings. The boats were very cool and we got a bit of our workout in paddling across. Lunch was amazing and the children even gave us a tickle massage in exchange for some gum. 100% recommend!

Summary:
My sister and I booked a tour to Lokobe Reserve and we were picked up from our lodge promptly at the arranged time. Our guide Frank made the trip a memorable experience. He was extremely personable, and was happy to share information about himself and growing up in Nosy Be. A guide for the Lokobe Reserve joined us our pirogue, and led us through the reserve. This guide was very good at pointing out both small and large animals - lemurs, of course, but also a very small frog and chameleons.
Frank also made quick stops for us that weren’t part of the tour - he made sure we were happy with the excursion! I highly recommend this tour, lemurs are a not-to-be-missed Madagascar experience!

Summary:
Our day started by meeting our lead guide, Appolino, at the pier. From there we walked a short distance to our waiting driver who drove us to Ambatozavavy. Along the way Appolino taught us basic facts about life, culture, history and wildlife of Madagascar.
Once we arrived in Ambatozavavy, we met another naturalist guide, Roger, who joined us for a canoe ride to Ampasipohy where we began our hike into Lokobe Reserve.
Between Roger and Appolino, they share an encyclopedic knowledge of plants and animals of Lokobe. They took turns narrating our hike where we would stop along the way to learn about yet one of their many endemic species using both common and scientific names.
We were fortunate to see a menagerie of animals including, but not limited to black and mouse lemurs, Madagascar ground boa, brown mantella frog, brown leaf chameleon, leaf tailed chameleon and even the world’s smallest chameleon brookesia nana!
Along the way we enjoyed a welcomed stop at a cascading waterfall where we were able to refresh and recharge. Then it was time to hike back to Ampasipohy to our waiting canoe and make our way back to Ambatozavavy.
In Ambatozavavy we enjoyed a family style lunch with Appolino who explained what each dish was. We were lucky to enjoy today’s fresh catch of barracuda, shrimp, Madagascar mangrove crab and more.
Following lunch we reconnected with our driver who drove us back to the pier with Appolino who shared more information about his country and Malagasy lifestyle.
We were surprised to learn Appolino’s English language was self-taught. His command of English, knowledge and easy going professional style is an asset as a tour guide.
