Information on area visited:
Madagascar
Its teeming fertile forests and geographical isolation, have served to preserve and propagate 'nature's design laboratory' in a mix found nowhere else on earth. Madagascar's forests are a shimmering, seething mass of a trillion stems and dripping leaves.
Kalakajoro
Located 90km south west of Nosy Be, the Radama Archipelago consists of four islands, of which Kalakajoro is the most northern and the smallest.  It is here that Jenman Madagascar Island Safaris has built Turtle Bay Camp – a privately owned fishing base, which is home to fish eagles, beautiful coral beds, and spectacular fishing.  Just 3km off the beach you will find a continental dop off with abundant Tuna, Barracuda, Sailfish, and Giant Kingfish.

Day 1: Arrive Madagascar (Nosy Be or Antananarivo) 
If you arrive into Nosy Be airport in the afternoon or evening, you will be met at the airport and transferred to the Bed & Breakfast in Hell-ville, set high up on a hill, with great views. Restaurants and nightlife are there for you to explore at your own leisure and own expense.  If your flights dictate a 1 night stay in Antananarivo on the first evening, you will spend the night in a small guest house in Antananarivo, arriving to Nosy Be on the morning of day 2.

Day 2: Hellville to Turtle Bay Camp - Kalakajoro   
After breakfast in the morning, you will board the Jenman Island Safaris ski boat for the sail across to the island of Kalakajoro.  During the journey, we will troll for fish and will stop to snorkel in the clear water. On arrival, settle into your bungalow and enjoy a walk on the beach and dinner in the boma. [BLD]
 

Day 3 - 6: Various islands  
Three boat fishing trips have been included in your package, allowing you to enjoy the remaining time for surf fishing, kayak fishing, excellent fly fishing off the rocks, or just relaxing!  Additional boat hire is available, should you wish for more time out on the ocean (additional charge).

Enjoy some excellent fishing just 3km off Turtle Bay beach, where you will find the continental shelf dropping from 10 to 100 meters, running parallel along the coast for 13km.

Because Kalakajoro is largely un-populated, fishing opportunities are fantastic, and some of the species you can expect to catch are Kingfish, Sailfish, Dog-tooth tuna, Spanish Mackerel and Queen fish.

Kalakajoro & the Radama islands is one of the best locations in Africa for a diverse fly fishing experience.

The camp operates a 28ft Cape Craft ski boat, with 2x 225hp outboards, and a 16ft Coast Cat, with 2 x 50hp outboards, all of which are well maintained and equipped for game fishing.  The skipper and one-man crew are extremely adept at their jobs and are very knowledgeable in terms of fish species, their whereabouts and their proximity to the camp - thus avoiding unnecessary travel time in hunting for fish. The camp mainly specialises in trolling and conventional big-game fishing.  Fly or spinning tackle should be taken along by visitors, if required.

There is also plenty to do on Kalakajoro if you have other interests than fishing.  Enjoy exploring around the island in a sea kayak or taking some time to walk along the beach, or try to find some of the many birds that call the Radama islands their home.  The islands are also very good for snorkeling, and you may find yourself spending hours in the water, mesmerized by the fascinating sea life. [BLD]
 

Day 7: Turtle Bay Camp - Hellville - Antananarivo
You can enjoy more trolling during your transfer from Turtle Bay Camp back to Nosy Be, where you will catch your flight to Antananarivo. Here you will overnight at the IC Hotel (or similar) close to the airport, before flying home the next day. [B]
 

Day 8: Antananarivo – Home destination 
After breakfast and your last few hours in Madagascar, you will be transferred to Tana airport for your flight home. [B]
