The Analamazaotra Special Reserve is one of the most frequently visited sites in the country, one of the easiest to reach, and one of the best places to observe lemurs in Madagascar, and indeed one of the best primate-watching sites in the world.

Day of exploration of the Park through the forest of Analamazaotra National Park is a national park of Madagascar. The park is in the eastern portion of Madagascar’s Central Highlands. The neighbouring Analamazaotra Forest Station is a local reforestation effort.

Analamazaotra consists of mid-altitude montane rain forest at 900–1,250 m, but covers a mere 810 ha. However, it is immediately adjacent to the much larger Mantadia National Park and several other important forests, such as Maromizaha. An overnight stay at this site is an absolute must for the first time visitor to Madagascar, since it is the single best place in the country for seeing the indri (Indri indri). Two indri groups in the surrounding forest have been habituated to the presence of tourists and are easily found with the help of local guides. In addition to the indri, the following lemurs are also relatively easy to observe at Analamazaotra: Goodman’s mouse lemur (Microcebus lehilahytsara), Crossley’s dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus crossleyi), weasel sportive lemur (Lepilemur mustelinus), brown lemur (Eulemur fulvus), gray bamboo lemur (Hapalemur griseus griseus), and eastern woolly lemur (Avahi laniger), as well as recently re-introduced diademed sifaka (Propithecus diadema) and sometimes southern black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata editorum), also a recent re-introduction. The sifakas are now quite easy to see in the same area as the two habituated indri groups, but the ruffed lemurs are more difficult. There is also a possibility of seeing the red-bellied lemur (Eu lemur rubriventer) and the aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis), although sightings of these species are much more infrequent.

Volcanoes dating back two million years and more than 40 volcanic lakes, including Itasy Lake, are scattered in an area of 400 km². Ampefy is not on the edge of the lake, but is on the Kavitaha. The latter is a spillway of Itasy from which it is separated by rock piles forming beautiful waterfalls in high water periods. Two of the most famous tourist sites that you can visit in Ampefy are the Geysers and “La chute de La Lily” (Lily Waterfalls). 3 km from Ampefy, a split on the left leads to the rocky outcrop of Ambohitrimanjaka.

Analavory Geysers are located 22 km from Ampefy. The area also includes Ampefy geysers. The geysers of Amparaky come from the phenomenon of artesian wells, not volcanic geysers.
