Parc Ivoloina
Located just a short drive from Toamasina, which is situated on
the centre of the eastern coast of the country, the Parc Ivoloina
makes a great day out for all kinds of visitors. In the Zoological
Park, visitors can meet more than 100 free-ranging lemurs of 10
species, as well as tortoises, tenrecs and chameleons. There are
also Dugout Canoe tours, nature trails, an education centre and
even spectacular gardens to enjoy as well. Visitors can pack a
picnic and enjoy the surroundings while learning about Madagascar's
indigenous animals, and there are camping facilities for those keen
on waking up to the sounds of birds and lemurs by a pretty lakeside
campsite.
Information & Facts
Admission
MGD 10, 000 (adults); MGD 4, 000 (children). Guides and
group rates also available.
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.
