Masoala & Anjajavy

Madagascar is a huge country and many holidays here involve large amounts of travelling. This one is different. It focuses on just 2 properties, one in the east and one in the west, both reached by flight from the capital, making the best use of your precious time. You have plenty of time to unpack your bags, settle in and fully appreciate your surroundings.

The camp and lodge are far more than places to stay. Each has been carefully designed to provide creature comforts, delicious cuisine and the highest levels of service, all the more impressive given their remote locations.

At Masaola Forest Lodge you take guided walks in the primary and coastal forest in search the spectacular endemic wildlife. There's an amazing snorkelling spot right infront of the lodge and kayaking allows you to explore hidden coves and islands. Take and excursion to the nearby village of Ambodiforaha and get to know the local Betsimisaraka culture. Back at the lodge, come sunset you are poured refreshing sundowner drinks, a prelude to your 3-course dinner.

Anjajavy Le Lodge has a wonderful beachfront location set within a vibrant natural reserve.   This is both a wild paradise and a marine treasure waiting for you to explore.  You don't have to go further than the beautiful gardens to spot playful lemurs and the red fody.   Food is central to every holiday, and at Anjajavy le Lodge, it's no exception. Carefully crafted meals are served alfresco with seasonal Malagasy dishes made from locally sourced ingredients.

Both properties have strong links with their respective local communities, which adds an intriguing human aspect to your holiday. In Anjajavy you'll discover Sakalava culture, most of the staff at the lodge are local. At Masoala you visit the nearby village and learn about the Betsimisaraka culture.

This special holiday is a winning combination of nature, culture and rustic luxury, and gives you a real insight into the richness of Madagascar.
