Perinet Nature Reserve
Madagascar's most visited reserve, the Perinet Nature Reserve
boasts a large variety of flora and fauna for visitors to view,
such as the endangered Indri, the largest and most vocal of the
lemurs, known for their song, an eerie mix between sirens and
wailing, which can be heard in the morning. With verdant green
forests Set in lush montane rainforest, a trip to Perinet makes a
wonderful excursion for travellers based in Antananarivo. There are
also really nice walks and trails to enjoy in the reserve and
travellers can appoint a guide to show them around pointing out
quirking habits of the native animals.
Information & Facts
Address
Language
Malagasy is the official language, but French is used in
business and government and is widely spoken in the main cities in
Madagascar. A few people involved in the tourism industry might be
able to speak some English, but it is not widely spoken.
Money
The official currency is the Malagasy ariary (MGA), which has
been reintroduced to replace the Malagasy franc. Coins and notes
display both currencies, but newer notes display the ariary more
prominently than the franc. One ariary is equal to five francs.
Foreign currencies can be exchanged at banks and official bureaux
de change, but the ariary cannot be changed back into hard
currency. Some banks will only accept US dollars or Euro.
Travellers cheques can be exchanged at most banks and in major
hotels, but some banks refuse to accept them. ATMs are available in
Antananarivo. Most major credit cards are starting to be accepted
in top hotels and major travel agencies in the capital and other
major towns, but have limited usage elsewhere.
