ParkTourist AttractionPoint of InterestEstablishment

Edino mesto na svetu, kjer lahko brez ograj hodite med prosto živečimi lemurji. V objemu madagaskarskega gozda boste začutili divjino na dosegu roke.

Quick facts: Tu živi več kot 60 lemurjev sedmih različnih vrst, ki prosto skačejo po 5 hektarjih gozda. Ustanovitelji so park odprli leta 2000 z namenom zaščite teh ogroženih živali pred izgubo naravnega okolja.

Highlights: Obiskovalci lahko lemurje hranijo kar iz roke, saj so živali popolnoma navajene človeške prisotnosti. Poseben občutek je, ko ti na ramo skoči črno-beli lemur vari, medtem ko ga hraniš s koščkom banane.

Pravo srce vsakdanjega življenja v prestolnici, kjer se mešajo vonji po vaniliji, sušenih ribah in cimetu. Sprehod med stojnicami ti bo dal okus po pristnem madagaskarskem utripu.

Quick facts: Vsak dan se tu sreča več kot 10.000 prodajalcev in kupcev, ki ustvarjajo živahno trgovsko središče sredi Antananariva. Tržnica deluje že od leta 1932 in ponuja vse od svežih začimb do ročno izdelanih lesenih mask.

Highlights: Pod ogromnimi platnenimi nadstreški, razpetimi kar čez glavno cesto, prodajalci razstavljajo polsteno tekstilijo in unikatne izdelke iz rogovine zebu. Povzpni se na bližnje stopnišče Place de l'Indépendance, od koder je celoten trg videti kot pisan mozaik barvnih krovov in vrvečih ljudi.
