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.

Tour guide was perfect (Excellent++). Attentive and caring. Outstanding person. Became part of the family. Give her an award!!! Local guides very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and pleasant people to be with. Helen’s enthusiastic and sparkling voice was a pleasure to hear on the ‘phone. All questions answered in detail and printed information sent was helpful. You guys really cared. Very attentive in Madagascar and went well. Very pleasant and good driver. No corners cut and a well planned trip with all details covered. Perfect for us. Due to good guides and spotters we saw 16 species of lemurs and plenty of them. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see so many species and so close to us. Marvellous – very emotional. Lemurs are such wonderful gentle creatures. This trip was so well-designed for people like us. I will never forget this trip in my life. What a humbling experience it was. Some time in the future we will be back to see these special animals. In the mean time I look to our video footage of our time with the lemurs of Madagascar. Helen Cox – well done. Your company is at the top of our list.
