Mandrare River Camp
Saint Luce, Madagascar
Why we love it
Mandrare River Camp is a remote and beautifully positioned bush lodge on the banks of the Mandrare River. The seven guest tents are all en-suite and all enjoy river views. The riverine forest provides shade during the often high heat of the day. A communal open building is home to a bar, dining area, viewing deck and swimming pool. Meals are served in various locations around this area.
Activities are extremely varied: night walks in the Sacred Spiny Forest; day walks in the Sacred Gallery Forest. 4×4 Safaris and walking safaris along the Mandrare River as well as longer trips to the river mouth where you’ll find impressive dunes. Mandrare has its own avenue of baobabs which you only share with other camp guests. The cultural experiences of this area are authentic and fascinating.
Experience ordinary life on the island with a trip to the local market in the neighbouring village, before heading to a nearby school.
Take a day or night walk into the spiny forest, home to a variety of wildlife, with a stop at an ancient burial forest abundant in the famous ring-tailed lemurs.
Spend a morning walking in the wetland area, where frequent avian visitors include painted snipe, teal, and malachite kingfisher.
Drive into the baobab forest to watch the sun set over the trees with a refreshing gin and tonic in hand, for a beautiful end to the day.

It was fabulous. I was planning to write a message with detailed feedback. It’s a unique place and provided a very special experience for the both of us. The holiday was fantastic and Madagascar is a very special country. Masoala was maybe one of my favourite experiences ever. The lodge and the setting are beautiful, the activities on point.
