Aye-aye Photography

Photography holidays in Madagascar

The aye-aye is one of Madagascar's strangest and most elusive primates, and photographing it in the wild is a genuine privilege rather than a given. NaturesLens builds opportunities to encounter this nocturnal, wide-eyed lemur into its wider Madagascar itineraries, giving photographers a realistic chance of capturing a species that few ever see, let alone photograph, in its natural habitat.

Where NaturesLens Photographs the Aye-aye

NaturesLens runs its aye-aye photography holiday under the Madagascar Wildlife & Rainforest trip, travelling through Antananarivo before heading out to forest sites including Andasibe, Kirindy Forest, Morondava, Maroantsetra, Masoala National Park and Nosy Mangabe. This tour is typically scheduled for November, when the group moves between these locations in search of the aye-aye alongside Madagascar's other rainforest wildlife.
