These lemurs typically live in family groups of up to 10 individuals and, while they are primarily adapted to life in the treetops, they occasionally come down to the ground.

Distinct from the famous Verreaux's sifaka from the south of Madagascar, known for its characteristic sideways dance, the Coquerel's sifaka moves more like a miniature kangaroo, bounding over the ground! Keep an eye out for common brown lemurs as well, which may be spotted roaming in the gardens and surrounding reserve. After this enriching exploration, return to the lodge for a delightful lunch and a tranquil afternoon.
