Madagascar fishing at Turtle Bay Camp - Kalakajoro Island

Madagascar fishing is popular holiday activity for families, couples and avid fishermen! You don’t have to be an expert to enjoy fishing in on this island… Madagascar boasts an impressive variety of fish in the warm, tropical waters that surround the island; offering a fantastic fishing holiday experience.

A Madagascar fishing holiday will take you to the secluded fishing paradise of Turtle Bay Camp – located on the Island of Kalakajoro. Turtle Bay Camp is a tremendous place as it boasts quiet fishing spots, rustic beach accommodation and a huge variety of fish… Overall it is an adventurous place in Madagascar for a fishing holiday! 

Your holiday accommodation consists of five two-bed, wooden chalets, situated amongst palms on the beach of Turtle Bay Camp. The chalets are very basic but spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and mosquito nets. Ablutions are stand alone with two flush toilets and two separate showers.  Only cold water is available but due to the climate this usually is not a problem. The ablutions, restaurant area and kitchens have lighting and the chalets are lit at night by paraffin lamps. Turtle Bay Camp is established on a clearing shaded by coconut palms, merely 20 meters off the beach!  This Madagascar Island is fairly small (approximately 8 km in perimeter) and a walk around the island during low tide is strongly recommended. The most beautiful shells are found along the sandy beaches and lots of bird life and reptiles (such as the many geckos and chameleons) make for an interesting hike. Once the tide starts pushing over the flats, kayaks are available to explore the many channels that feed the flats with fish. The camp operates a reverse osmosis filtration system for the water supply, and a solar back up system supports the generator.  There is no cell phone reception at the camp.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Turtle Bay Camp is situated within a malaria zone and as such, necessary precautions should be taken.  Humidity in the summer months is also extremely high and one should guard against dehydration and sunburn. The best time to visit Turtle Bay for a fishing holiday is between May and September. A visit during the rainy season from late December to March is not advisable. Turtle Bay Camp is suitable for both fishermen and non-fishing partners.

Turtle Bay Camp is not for those wanting civilization, roads and shops. It is for those seeking a desert island experience – with seafood-based catering. The beaches are pristine, forest walks fascinating, fishing and snorkelling superb.  A Madagascar holiday to Turtle Bay is a truly special experience and something that anyone looking for great fishing holiday will love.
