Andasibe-Mantadia National Park is about 150 km from Antananarivo in the Toamasina Province of Madagascar. The combined parks are perhaps best known as the home of the Indri lemurs, which is the largest surviving lemur species whose singing can be heard for miles each morning and evening.

The Mitsinjo Reserve is located adjacent to Andasibe and is sponsored by an NGO in cooperation with the local villagers. The association works to replant deforested areas, and plants over 25,000 seedlings each year. The same lemur species found in Andasibe can also be found within Mitsinjo, but unlike the national park it is possible to do a night walk on the trails of Mitsinjo, offering the possibility of finding species that are not easily seen during daylight hours.
