Mandrare River Camp

Independent (Madagascar Classic Collection) · Tented wilderness camp · Ifotaka, Mandrare Valley, deep south

An intimate seven-tent camp on the banks of the Mandrare River in the ancestral lands of the Antandroy, among the spiny forest and sacred tamarind groves of the far south. Carved four-poster beds, en-suite tents and solar power keep it comfortable without pretending to be a resort. The strength here is access to spiny-forest lemurs, night walks and genuinely respectful cultural contact with the Antandroy.

Why we recommend it

The best base for the unique spiny forest of the deep south, with a conservation and community ethos that sets it apart from any hotel.

Signature
