Madagascar

Mandrare River Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

Spread among the shade of the Tamarind trees, Mandrare River Camp provides a luxury experience in the rugged wilderness of southeastern Madagascar.

Accommodations at the camp consist of six spacious, fully-equipped, and bespoke luxury tents. Each tent is decorated with individually hand-crafted, ornate wooden furniture including a four-poster bed draped in mosquito netting as well as a bedside table with a lamp, a wardrobe, and dressing table. The en suite bathroom features solar-powered showers, a vanity, and a flush toilet. The private terrace is fitted out with chairs and a table where guests can lounge with a coffee or a good book and take in the stunning views of the river and sacred mountains beyond.

This secluded camp is located on the banks of the Mandrare River in the Antadroy tribal area under the shade of the Ifotaka Community Forest. The revered ancestral forests are home to five different species of lemur including ringtails, Verraux’s Sifaka, white-foot sportive, grey mouse, and grey brown mouse. Madagascar is home to some rare and wonderful animals found nowhere else in the world. There are 300 species of reptiles on the island from to chameleons to geckos to tortoises to the boa constrictor. The island nation is home to some of the world’s tiniest frogs. The local Antandroy tribe devotes their lives to protecting the Sacred Forests where their ancestors rest in their ornate tombs.

With access to these wild and wonderful ancestral forests and the nomadic Antandroy tribe, there are plenty of unique and exciting activities available at the camp. Wildlife tours are conducted in either 4×4 vehicles or on foot for a more personal view. The camp’s experience guides share their vast array of knowledge about the local flora and fauna. Guests can explore the local markets for that rare trinket. While cultural tours of the Antandroy tribal areas include visits to sacred forests, tombs, ceremonies and cults of the Antandroy tribe as well as traditional music and dancing.

The main area of camp houses the communal pallisander wood table where guests gather together to enjoy communal meals under the glow of the hurricane lamps and the music of the local birds. For a great start to the day, breakfast includes freshly baked bread, pain au chocolat and croissants, local made preserves, cereals, and fresh fruit juices. Lunch serves up delicious barbecued meats and fresh salads. Finally after a day of adventure, a tantalizing three-course meal using the best in Malagasy and French cooking is dished up.
