Spacious, airy rooms close to the national park entrance

Conveniently located close to Andasibe-Mantadia National Park

Malagasy owned and run, this comfortable lodge is very conveniently located, just 300m from the national park entrance and 800m from Andasibe village.

20 en-suite rooms are set in its original 12 bungalows. In 2016, simpler and smaller rooms were added in a single, new block. Rooms in general are spacious and airy but at night, do note that lighting can be dim. As is the case with all properties around Andasibe-Mantadia, it is of the no-frills variety. Facilities include telephone, TV, safe and rooms are equipped with heaters for cold winter nights. There is a swimming pool in attractive gardens. There is a good restaurant and, weather permitting, meals can be taken on the terrace.

The hotel has a small private forest at its rear with walkways throughout for exploring, as well as the Andasibe ('Perinet'), Analamzaotra Forestry Station and Mantadia National Park nearby. You can also head out onto the water for some kayaking.

When to go to Madagascar

Find out the best time to visit Madagascar with our month by month guide.

Best
Good
Mixed

January

The cyclone season in Madagascar is between January and March, which means it's hot and wet and isn't the best time of year to travel. The east coast is generally wetter than the west or south.

Expand

February

February is the wettest month, with heavy downpours and the risk of cyclones making travel difficult, and wildlife hard to spot.

Expand

March

March remains hot and wet, with high humidity making travel uncomfortable. The south is generally a bit drier and the roads more manageable than the north.

Expand

April

There are still heavy rain showers during April, May and June, but they don't disrupt too many activities, and the sun often shines in between. Parks are now open to visitors and it's a great time to visit Andasibe and Berenty, with the greenery lush and the wildlife coming out of hiding.

Expand

May

The rains have left the landscapes looking green and lush, and now is a great time to try and spot the famous lemurs. The tourists haven't yet arrived en-masse so accommodation is cheaper and easier to find. There are still a few rain showers, but sun prevails, making May an excellent overall choice for travel.

Expand

June

With the rain finally subsiding, the air becomes fresh and cool, with sunshine and just a few showers punctuating the day. It's a great time to travel across much of the country, and still outside of peak season it's easier to find accommodation at good prices.

Expand

July

July is the beginning of the peak season, with dry weather and lower temperatures meaning this is a great time to go trekking or explore the rainforests. Lemurs and other forest dwellers have come out of hiding, and humpback whales gather to calve offshore, with sightings frequent between now and September. July is one of the best times to visit Madagascar.

Expand

August

August is similar to July, with comfortably cool temperatures and sunny skies. It's another good month for whale watching, and for exploring Madagascar's many regions.

Expand

September

Want to see a baby lemur? Now is the time to visit, when lemurs give birth. The cooler weather is at an end, and temperatures begin to rise, bringing with them a few showers in anticipation of the approaching rainy season. It's quieter than July and August, and therefore an ideal month to visit Madagascar. Whale watching is still on the cards too.

Expand

October

Baby lemurs are still hopping around during October, and the warmer weather means it's an excellent time for the beaches and snorkelling in the turquoise ocean. Keep an eye out for the blooming purple jacarandas, and see if you can spot fossas in the western forests.

Expand

November

Increasing temperatures around Madagascar mean hot days, but the arrival of short rain showers helps cool things down. Wildlife is very active during November, so it's a great time for lemur spotting, as well as birds during their breeding season.

Expand

December

December is the start of the wet season in Madagascar, with high temperatures (the hottest of the year) and short, sharp rain showers. It's a bit cooler and drier in the south west of the island. It's a quieter time to travel, and if you visit at the beginning of the month, the beaches will still be glorious.
