The Black Lemur Cave Circuit begins with a trek through the village of Anjahakely and into valley below Black Lemur Camp until the cave entry about 4km after the camp. A labyrinth of narrow passages decorated with limestone rock art created by endless geological time will take approximately 40 minutes to pass through.

This may be a chilling experience to the slightly claustrophobic and who fear the odd spider encounter but incredibly cute tiny bats who have made this cave their home will cheer up foreign visitors with their flying circuses.

Note: Do not bring a big rucksack or bulky equipment as the cave's passages are very narrow in places. A very tall or large framed persons will not fit through everywhere. Bring a flashlight or headlamp and a guide who knows the way or risk not finding the exit!
