The Black Lemur Camp Viewpoint Circuit is an approximately 4-hour trekking route that starts at Black Lemur Camp and through the forested habitat of the endangered Perrier's sifaka lemur and further onto a 624m peak with stunning views of the SAVA region towards the south and the Diana region towards the north.

The way to the top leads through the forest trail which is the mostly likely path to encounter lemurs. The descent can either be made on the southern side of the mountain which will join a walking route between the Diana and SAVA region, or for more lemur watching, choose the same route back as you came, which in all is slightly less distance.

The route towards the south, however, is the more scenic and will pass through bamboo forest followed by a small natural pool where numerous birds can usually be spotted. This also makes an ideal nice resting point and picnic venue.
