VAKONA FOREST LODGE, ANDASIBE

BUILT IN TRADITIONAL MALAGASY STYLE

Stay in clear mountain air, surrounded by the treetops of an ancient forest. And share your holiday with shining-eyed indri.

You sit out on the veranda at Vakona Forest Lodge, a glass of wine in hand, and slowly you become aware of a strange sound.

It’s not raucous enough to be lemurs…then you realise you’re listening to a myriad of forest frogs.

You can expect this sort of experience at the lodge – it’s situated high on a hillside that drops down to a stunning lake. In fact, the lodge stands in water, on stilts, and is surrounded by unspoiled mountain rainforest. The perfect place to experience all manner of wildlife and see the indri; largest of all Madagascar’s famous lemurs.
