Mandrare River Camp

Madagascar Classic Camping’s Mandrare River Camp is set in the cool shade of a grove of tamarind trees, three and a half hours west of Fort Dauphin.  To get there you drive through the impressive sand dunes of Lac Anony and the spiny desert to the classic tented camp on the banks of the mighty Mandrare River.

Accommodation & Facilities
Mandrare River Camp is set in the beautiful grounds of an old colonial plantation house opposite the sacred ancestral forests of the Antandroy Tribe.  It has 6 large tents, each with an adjoining bathroom (bucket shower and chemical toilet).  All the tents have a private verandah overlooking the river and there is a terrace right on the river’s edge on which you can relax in the middle of the day or sit quietly with some binoculars enjoying the excellent bird watching and scenery.

There are a number of varied activities on offer at Mandrare River Camp including day and night guided walks to find the five species of lemurs present here, astronomy, meeting and interacting with the local Antandroy tribe.
