LemuriaLand, Wildlife park in Nosy Be, Madagascar.
LemuriaLand is a wildlife park on Nosy Be island where visitors encounter several animal species native to Madagascar in constructed habitats. The grounds include lemurs, crocodiles, fossas, frogs, tortoises, and other creatures living in enclosures designed to resemble their natural settings.
The park was created to protect animal species found in Madagascar and educate the public about them. It sits near an ancient banyan tree with roots in the local community dating back nearly two centuries.
The facility helps visitors understand the connection between Madagascar's animals and their natural environments through direct observation. As you walk through the spaces, you notice how each habitat reflects the ways these creatures live in the wild.
Visiting works best in the morning when animals are more active and the heat is not yet intense. Sturdy shoes and plenty of water are helpful since the grounds require walking, including some uphill sections.
The park mixes animal observation with ylang-ylang cultivation on the surrounding hillsides, blending wildlife protection with local agriculture. These fragrant plants used in perfume production add an unexpected farming element to the wildlife experience.
