IVOLOINA ZOOLOGICAL PARK

Nice botanical garden where the vegetal varieties of the great forest of the East are well represented. An opportunity to greet lemurs (we observe at least five species in semi-liberty). Ecological approach of sustainable development of the places to underline. A visit to the garden of medicinal plants, to the old prison and to the fish farm is recommended. A snack bar and a refreshment stand are available. Jean René, a French-Malagasy half-breed who created a factory and a sugar refinery and developed education under the reign of Radama^I, is buried here.
