Anjajavy

An exceptional location for wildlife viewing and coastal relaxation, the Anjajavy peninsula in the north-west of Madagascar has 1000 acres of tropical dry deciduous forest  in which at least two species of baobab can be found as well as Coquerel’s sifaka, common brown lemur, Milne Edwards sportive lemur, pale fork-marked lemur, tenrecs, chameleons and fosa.  Tsingy caves harbour various bat species, and the abundant bird life includes Madagascar harrier hawk, white headed vanga, crested drongo and breeding pairs of the critically endangered Madagascar fish eagle.

Anjajavy L’Hotel

A charter flight to a private landing strip followed by a short drive through dry forest leads to perhaps the most desirable hotel in the country, Anjajavy L’Hotel. With air-conditioned hardwood bungalows, sandy beach, large swimming pool, private wildife reserve, excellent restaurant and superb service, the hotel (a favourite of the President) will appeal to those seeking unpretentious style and luxury. Mornings may be spent participating in water sports or taking a boat ride to the bay of the sacred baobabs; afternoons perhaps swimming in the sea then taking tea at the Oasis, a small landscaped garden where wild lemurs appear as if by magic to feed on fruit trees and stare at the humans.
