Ecolodge de Kirindy

Western Madagascar


Friendly Ecolodge de Kirindy has oh-so-basic, overpriced wooden bungalows with mosquito nets, uncomfortable mattresses and questionable plumbing. Camping is no longer possible due to the rather brazen fossa, but you still may find one sleeping under your bungalow…lullabies are courtesy of the forest residents. There's a small, slow on-site restaurant serving ample meals (mains Ar20,000) and cold beer.

Bring a good torch.
