We were met at the airport by our driver (Lulu) and guide (Alain),and had about a four hour drive from Antananarivo to Eulophelia Lodge, located in a private reserve, and near the Andasibe-Mantadia National Park.
Driving out of Antananarivo, we saw brick-making operations, laundry washing in the main river, and lots of rice fields. (Rice is the main staple of Madagascar.)
We arrived at our destination.
We had an hour or so to relax, and then set out on a night walk though the nature reserve around the lodge.
We saw some lemurs, chameleons, sleeping birds, frogs, and more.
