The
camp is set in breathtaking scenery: on one side, the majestic Tsaranoro, a 800 meters cliff,
and on the other, an impressive range of mountains bordering the
We
have 10 large South African luxury style tents, each with its own private shower
(hot water on request), hand basin and chemical toilets. The bedrooms are
tastefully furnished with precious Malagasy wood twin beds, wardrobe and night
table. No electricity in this wild
place but candles and hurricane
lamps. A large restaurant tent and a zafimaniry wooden living room where
tea and coffee is complimentary. Our cuisine is simple but tasty and with
Malagasy accents (due to the difficulties to provide regularly the camp with
vegetables, please inform us ahead if you are vegetarian). Within a 10 minutes
walk, a natural swimming pool,
and a river.
The
camp is an hour’s drive off NR 7, (Tana/Tulear road). From April to October, the
road is usually in good state, except for the last 10km linking Vohitsoaka to
Tsara for which we recommend a
quick transfer with one of our trucks.
In order
to appreciate your stay at our camp, it is not necessary to be especially
athletic. Indeed, we propose a large range of excursions, from gentle ones to
expeditions! Our easy walks will
take you in a sacred forest (and probably to catta lemurs), to a waterfall, and
in the nearby villages. A unique
opportunity to discover the
malagasy traditional life of this isolated population : people live only with
the weather, the sun and the rice
harvest as a clock. Our sporty
walks will make you climb up
