The Galago, Antsanitia’s little nocturnal treasure

• A fascinating little primate*

Antsanitia Resort is home to one of the world’s smallest primates: the mouse lemur, known scientifically as Microcebus murinus.

With its large, expressive eyes adapted to nocturnal life and its small size, this discreet lemur is a true symbol of Madagascar’s unique biodiversity.

• A nocturnal life full of mystery*

The mouse lemur is a nocturnal animal. It mainly comes out at night to feed on fruit, insects and nectar.

Observing this small primate in its natural habitat is a rare and magical experience, often possible during our guided night walks.

• An indicator of biodiversity*

The presence of the mouse lemur on our site is a strong sign of the good health of our ecosystem. Like many endemic species, it depends on a preserved environment to survive.

This reinforces our commitment to protecting local wildlife and maintaining a sustainable natural balance.

• Responsible observation*

To help preserve this fragile species, we ask our visitors to behave respectfully:

• Observe without touching
• Use suitable torches (soft light)
• Avoid sudden noises
• Follow the eco-guide’s instructions
• A unique experience*

Encountering a tarsier in the wild is a special moment that delights young and old alike.

At Antsanitia Resort, we are proud to be able to offer this kind of experience, which is authentic, educational and environmentally friendly.
