Vakona Forest Lodge


The lodge offers comfortable accommodation in a peaceful and natural setting.  Situated approximately 1 km from the national park, this is Andasibe’s only luxury hotel.

 

The reception, restaurant and bar are contained within an octagonal building on a small lake, and you can relax over dinner whilst observing the local birds. It is near the Andasibe National Reserve, stay here on our Lemur and Beach Package.

 

Description:

 

There are 24 bungalows at the lodge, each of which is equipped with an outside terrace, mosquito net, en suite bathroom with shower, hot and cold water and a room safe.

 

The hotel restaurant is situated in the middle of the hotel, with a centre fireplace offering welcoming warmth in winter. The food is excellent and of an international and Malagasy style.

 

Vakona has its own private reserve where you can observe Madagascar’s endemic species, from the tiny Brookesia minima Chameleon (no larger than your fingernail) to crocodiles and exotic birds.
