'''Black Lemur Camp is an eco-lodge located in the Andrafiamena protected area, 100 kilometres south of [[Diego Suarez]]. The camp, which opened in 2015, is based on the concept of sustainable tourism by supporting a major reforestation initiative in the area as well as employing locals from the nearby villages.'''

The 13 wooden, palm -thatched bungalows are built on stilts and can be adjusted as single, double or family bungalows according to the number of guests. From almost all the rooms guests have great views onto the Andrafiamena valley Valley with the Ambotonganana hill and Montagne d'Ambre (Ambre Mountain) in the background. The bungalows are separated by trees from each other and are solar -powered, have a large bathroom with hot and cold water and an open terrace.

Next to the village is the tree nursery [[Anjahankely Tree Nursery]] managed by the [[Fanamby]] NGO. The tree nursery plants about 30,000 trees a year, amongst them the endemic [[Rozana|Schizolaena viscosa]], an important food source for the black Sifaka. A visit to the tree nursery as well as [[Anjahankely|Anjahankely Village]] is always recommended.
There are 17 guides from the village who are familiar with the area and who have been trained to identify various species of local flora and fauna. Depending on the time schedule, visitors can choose between different treks and tours: The [[Black Lemur Camp Sifaka Circuit|Black Sifaka Circuit]] (3.5km), [[Black Lemur Camp Piscine Circuit|Natural Pool Circuit]] (4.75km), [[Black Lemur Camp Viewpoint Circuit|Viewpoint Circuit]] (7km), [[Black Lemur Camp Cave Circuit|Cave Circuit]] (8.37km). For endurance hikers, the approximately 10-hour trek (26.4km) along the footpath connecting the Diana and SAVA region to the village of [[Anjahankely-Tsarahovaka trek|Tsarahovaka and back]] may be just the right thing.
