Peyrieras Reptile Reserve

Peyrieras Reptile Reserve, Reptile and amphibian reserve near Manjakandriana, Madagascar.

Peyrieras Reptile Reserve is a facility housing reptiles and amphibians near Manjakandriana. The animals live in large enclosed buildings along National Road N2, roughly 75 kilometers from Antananarivo, where chameleons, geckos, snakes, frogs, and butterflies can be observed.

The reserve was founded and is owned by André Peyriéras, a French entomologist and naturalist born in 1927. It is a small private reserve at Marozevo on National Road N2, 75 km east of Antananarivo between Manjakandriana and Moramanga. It became a popular stop for tourists travelling to Andasibe-Mantadia National Park.

The reserve is known locally as Madagascar Exotic, the Peyrieras Butterfly Farm or the Mandraka Reptile Farm, after founder André Peyriéras. Guides take animals such as chameleons and leaf-tailed geckos from their cages to show visitors, and a group of Coquerel's sifaka comes back every day to be fed, which lets tourists photograph them up close.

The reserve sits on National Road N2 at Marozevo, 75 km east of Antananarivo between Manjakandriana and Moramanga, and is a common stop on the road to Andasibe-Mantadia National Park. A guide is obligatory and takes visitors into the walk-in cages and greenhouses, bringing some animals out for a closer look. Allow time for the forest area beside the buildings, where the lemurs are fed.

A group of Coquerel's sifaka comes back every day to be fed, and the adjacent forest holds families of relocated, habituated Verreaux's sifaka and common brown lemur. Feeding times are when photographers get closest to the animals.
