Mitsinjo Forest can be visited throughout the year. Indri and most other lemurs can be spotted at any time. However, you might want to miss the worst of the rains from January to March. This is cyclone season and torrential downpours can interfere with activities. The cold dry months from June to September are not as good for spotting reptiles and dwarf lemurs as they are less active during this time.
