Anza Reserve Villageoise, Madagascar--Not far from the relatively large, regional hub of Ambalavao, Anza is a straightforward trip from Ranomafana.

The lemurs are everywhere and visible, tucked into caves, leaping between rocks, feeding in the bushes, sunning on the tops and cuddled up grooming on softer spots.
