Masoala National Park Holidays

The country’s largest national park

Madagascar's largest national park, where lowland rainforest still extends right down to the sea.

Masoala National Park is one of Madagascar’s most remote and biologically rich regions – a vast expanse of rainforest, coral reefs, and mangroves that feels like a lost world. Tucked away in the northeast, where dense jungle meets the Indian Ocean, it offers one of the most immersive and rewarding wilderness experiences on the island.

This is Madagascar’s largest protected area and home to some of its rarest species. You can spot the flamboyant red ruffed lemur – found only in this region – as well as leaf-tailed geckos, vividly coloured frogs, and an astonishing range of birdlife. The forest is thick and ancient, with towering trees, hidden waterfalls, and the ever-present sound of life all around you.

What sets Masoala apart is its sense of complete escape. Getting there takes effort – usually a small plane followed by a boat ride – but the payoff is huge: empty beaches, pristine rainforest, and the chance to explore with almost no one else around. You can snorkel directly from the shore, kayak through mangroves, or take guided night walks to see the forest come alive after dark.

We love Masoala for its raw, off-grid beauty. It’s ideal for travellers who want to go deeper into nature and are happy to leave creature comforts behind in exchange for something truly special. If you’re after adventure, solitude, and extraordinary wildlife, this is Madagascar at its most unforgettable.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
