Le parc est plutôt grand mais les conditions de vie des animaux fait de la peine, certain lémurien était mal en point et les soins ne sont pas bons. Cela ressemble plus a du bizness que à de la protection animale. Le prix est de 1000ar pour les malgaches et 20 fois supérieur pour les étrangers ce qui est excessif et discriminatoire. Cela dis j’ai passer une journée agréable mais seulement car j’étais en bonne compagnie.

Unfortunately, quite poor garden, suffering animals in unsufficient conditions, mess and rubbish all over the garden, damaged plants and trees (marked and scratched by visitors), many empty spaces, dead animals (I saw 1 bird and 1 chameleon). Well, don't expect standards like in developed countries. Artificially created biotopes have a nice idea, but the reality will bring disappointment..

We visited only thebotanical gardens as we already had seen the lemurs at the National Park. The guide was very knowledgeable about the endemic plants. We learned how fig trees can co-exist with palm trees; saw several boabob trees; and toched velvety plant called Napoleon hat. The tour lasted 1,5 hours with a short break at the cafe. Would highly recommend to families with children and nature lovers. On Sunday, the park was busy with locals.

Zoo dans un état très délabré Pratiquement plus d'animaux Durant notre visite nous n'avons vu qu'un seul lémurien dans une petite volière Beaucoup de volière vide ou très mal entretenu. Peu d'intérêt de voir des pintades et des paons C'est bien triste car avec un tel site il y aurait un gros potentiel pour avoir quelque chose de merveilleux

It's a fun place if you don't want to get out to one of the national parks or reserves and just see some animals and the variety of plants Madagascar has right here in Tana! Locals basically go in for free, we opted not to have a guide and just roamed around on our own. We had a fun time on their manual ferris-wheel... it was a person jumping on it and pulling it down by force, so fun!

  • Richard R

Les installations ne sont pas rutilantes mais les espèces présentes sont en nombre interressant. Le parc est un peu un dédale, mais il convient de le découvrir avec guide (#10 €). Ainsi vous devenez "intelligent" et cela agrémente votre journée (entrée étranger #5€) On y découvre des lémuriens] en bonne santé!

Le parc de Tsimbazaza est vraiment génial ! Il y a tellement d'animaux différents à voir. C'est un endroit parfait pour les élèves, car ils pourront découvrir une grande diversité d'animaux fascinants. Je vous encourage tous à venir faire une visite, c'est une expérience incroyable !

A very rich zoo. Birds, reptiles, batracians, and most of all lemurs are kinds of species you can see. You can also find many interesting tropical plants there. Once you enter the gate, you'll feel like you are in a tropical jungle. You will forget that you are in the capital of Madagascar. Bonus : ther is a museum inside.

  • Nicolas Dumont

Super parc, la végétation est magnifique et les animaux sont bien visibles. C'est un véritable bonheur pour les yeux, et les petits peuvent profiter des barbe à papa et des attractions (manège, grande roue, trampoline - payant)

In Antananarivo gibt es nicht viel zu tun. Deshalb bin ich mal wieder in einen Zoo gegangen. Die Gehege sind teilweise viel zu klein und mir Taten die Tiere leid. Manche von ihnen leiden an Hospitalismus. Sie laufen auf und ab....

Enjoyed my visit to the Zoo/Botanical gardens with Malagasy friends. Didn't know what to expect but liked the relaxed atmosphere. Only disappointment for the 3 of us was was the cafe. Apart from the cafe a nice enjoyable and relaxing 2 hours. Would visit again when returning to Tana

  • Thomas Mudalige

Really great experience, saw many different animals while walking around. Very vibrant and wonderful atmosphere however I didn't see a Lion, Zebra, Giraffe and Hippo together. The monkeys were nice though.

Effectivement nous payons le prix fort pour l entrée, pour pas grand chose . J'ai eu plusieurs déceptions en visitant ce genre de parc en fait on nous prend pour des pigeons . Si Mr ministre pense relancer le tourisme de cette manière, il est à côté de ses pompes .

  • Александр Петухов

В целом понравилось. Немного запущено, разбитые дорожки, грязноватые клетки, убитые туалеты. Но фауна присутствует, флора тоже. К лемурам за доплату пустили медом намазали руки они слизывали. Разнообразие видов лемуров большое. Если есть время сходите.

Not well kept. We were there November 2019 and there wasn’t much to it. It was great to see the camels it had and the lake and some of the trees but not much.

One of the saddest places I’ve ever been. The place is completely trashed, the cages and facilities in awful condition. The animals are worse. It’s shameful that it is open in those conditions. Plus, since is one of the few green areas of

Fajne i urokliwe miejsce, zwłaszcza w kontekście z miastem, tworzy zielona enklawę. Szkoda tylko, że nie ma więcej zwierząt ale i tak jest co oglądać.

Gli animali sono chiusi in gabbie minuscole! Non ci andate, è disumano. Il parco sarebbe anche bello ma vedere lemuri (prima foto) e altri animali come aquile, tartarughe e coccodrilli stipati in gabbie fa stringere il cuore.

  • Marius Corré

C'est plutôt un parc public qui n'a rien de botanique ni de zoo l'entretien n'est pas assuré ça ne mérite aucune étoile et l'entrée ne devrait pas être payante

The best about it the guide, check out Bruno he's fun, informative and passionate. The zoo is small but had over 14 types of lemurs. This is a caged zoo, but a good place to start learning about what to expect.

  • Đoàn Anh Khôi - Kevin

really nice place, some lemur kept telling me that he likes to quote " move it move it". Saw 4 penguins as well, though i dont think that they should b there. 4 stars, would "move it, move it" again.

  • Boakye Vincent

Nice place. Tsimbazaza Zoo and Botanical Gardens is located in Antananarivo, Madagascar. It is a popular tourist attraction that showcases a variety of animal species and botanical collections.

  • S. Fontaine

Beau parc animalier en plein centre de Tana. Dommage que l'endroit est si peu entretenu. Il mérite vraiment d'être revalorisé. Dommage aussi que certains animaux semblent être affamés.

  • Fabian Haller

Netter Zoo, man kann Lemuren beobachten und mit viel Glück kann man sie auch festhalten und streicheln. Für einen Tages- oder Halbtagesausflug genau das Richtige.

  • Jamie Yates

I was very pleased with my experience, I loved to see Alex the lion but I was disappointed that I could not find the penguins. Highly recommend Gloria the Hipoo

  • Lauren Rathvon

This is a pretty sad site all around. I wouldn’t recommend it.

  • limer claude

Manque d'entretien, et peut d'animaux pour un zoo, et un grand manque de lémuriens qui est donc l'emblème de Madagascar.
