Botanical and Zoological Garden of Tsimbazaza

The Botanical and Zoological Garden of Tsimbazaza spans 23 hectares, containing collections of native plants alongside exhibits of lemurs, turtles, and crocodiles.

Established in 1925, the garden evolved into a research center with Madagascar's largest herbarium, comprising approximately 80,000 plant specimens from across the island.

The garden's museum displays tribal carvings and skeletons of extinct Madagascar megafauna, including elephant birds, pygmy hippos, and giant lemurs.

Located north of the National Assembly building, the garden provides walking paths through botanical collections and animal exhibits with informative signage.

The facility maintains specialized sections for southern Madagascar vegetation, featuring distinct species like didieraceas, pachypodiums, and the ravinala tree.
