Eastern Madagascar
Feon Ny Ala
Feon ny Ala is a simple yet comfortable hotel only 3km from the entrance to Perinet Reserve in Andasibe. It has a pleasant location next to a lake and opposite a fragment of rainforest which is why it’s not uncommon to wake to the magical sound of distant indri song at dawn.
The hotel is in an ideal location for access to both Perinet and Mantadia National Parks and also for night walks that are often taken along the nearby road revealing such species as mouse lemur and brookesia chameleon.
Feon ny Ala is an excellent value-for-money option for Andasibe while still providing clean and comfortable accommodation in wooden A-frame bungalows with thatched roofs. There are 40 rooms including large family bungalows and all feature private bathrooms with hot water showers, mosquito nets and a desk and power outlets for recharging equipment.
The main building houses a large restaurant serving good, plain food plus a games room with pool table, table tennis, TV and a small library. Outside there is a garden area with tables and umbrellas and a children’s play area with views towards the nearby forest.
Facilities
En suite bathrooms with hot water, restaurant, laundry service, games room and souvenir shop.
Local Wildlife
Indri, diademed sifaka, black and white ruffed lemur, Goodman's mouse lemur, eastern woolly lemur, Parson's chameleon, leaf chameleon, leaf tailed gecko, giraffe-necked weevil and many species of frog can be seen in the reserve.
Optional Activities
Wildlife walks in the rainforest.

It was an excellent trip. I saw a lot of a wonderful country and would like to return. The Malagasy people are lovely. Friendly and hospitable throughout. Everything was done to ensure we were happy and comfortable. Excellent service and wildlife. Wildlife highlights: mating fosas, close encounters with indri, diademed sifaka and ringtailed lemurs above us as we picniced below.
