The Black Lemur Cave Circuit begins with a trek through the village of Anjahakely and into valley below Black Lemur Camp until reaching the cave entry after about 4km.

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.

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