In a country where the term ‘unique’ is liberally used, Mandrare River Camp really is a one-off. Set in the wilds of southeast Madagascar, an oasis of comfort and once-in-a-lifetime experiences can be found in the most far-flung of locations on the serene banks of the Mandrare River.
In this blissfully remote location, protected sacred forests house myriad wildlife species and play a key role in the ancient traditions of the Antandroy people. Countless intriguing endemic species make the spiny forests here their home, including Ring-tailed and Sportive lemurs, Verreaux's sifaka and warty chameleons. That so much of the natural habitat here remains completely unspoilt is testament to the vigilant protection of the Antandroy tribe, who consider these forests sacred and have long chosen them as the final resting place for their ancestors.
