Peyrieras Reptile Reserve

The reserve displays numerous species of chameleons, geckos, snakes, frogs, and butterflies in large enclosed buildings along National Road N2, 75 kilometers from Antananarivo.

French entomologist André Peyriéras established this facility, which evolved from an exotic animal trading post into a conservation and research center for Madagascar wildlife.

The reserve contributes to scientific understanding of Madagascar's endemic species through its collection of native reptiles, amphibians, and relocated lemur populations.

Visitors access guided tours throughout multiple enclosures, with opportunities to observe animal feeding demonstrations and photograph various species in controlled environments.

The reserve maintains groups of Coquerel's sifaka and common brown lemurs that return daily to specific locations, enabling close observation of these primates.
