Derek Schuurman Product Manager Madagascar and Alternative Africa

"The undeniable 'weirdness' of so many Malagasy animals and plants adds to the country’s allure as a sought-after destination for nature enthusiasts."

Andasibe Lemurs Lodge

Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, Madagascar

Newly opened (mid 2017), the owner-run Andasibe Lemurs Resort is situated 10 minutes drive from Andasibe village and just 15 minutes from the park entrance.

As such it is superbly located for those wanting to explore the protected rainforest parcels of:

Andasibe,
Analamazaotra Forest Station,
VOIMMA,
Marohizaha and
Mantadia National Park.

The property has neat, spacious, modern and airy, elevated bungalows: 8 are standard and 2 are family bungalows.

Standard bungalows can be adapted into twin, double or triple rooms, depending on guest's requirements.

Each bungalow has en-suite facilities (toilet and shower with modern fittings and washbasin), ceiling fan and built-in wardrobe. Rooms have wooden floors and while solar power is utilised there is a backup generator to provide power 24/7. A sliding glass door opens onto a private verandah where guests can enjoy relaxing and reading, or enjoying the views. Each room has a wall-mounted TV with English channels. There is WiFi.

The restaurant serves traditional and European dishes. (Maximum capacity of 50 guests). Our representatives rate food and service as good. Meals can also be enjoyed on the outside terrace.

There is a massage room and laundry service is offered.

We inspected the property in September 2018 (Derek Schuurman and Daniel Austin of Bradt Guides) and were impressed by the friendliness of management.

Accommodation Reviews

'Overall holiday satisfaction (22 October 2017 Madagascar Wildlife Discovery Small Group tour): 'Completely exceeded our expectations.

Andasibe Lemurs Lodge: all brilliant apart from the mattress, as hard as a board, obviously brand new rubber mattresses.

Les Dunes Ifaty: Lovely place, perfect setting.

Varangue de Betsileo: Small, intimate, perfect. Excellent

Plumeria: excellent.

The information itself was well detailed and wonderfully helpful, the holiday was well organised, incredibly interesting and far exceeded our expectations. Our guide Gersica was excellent, the hotels good and the food outstanding - apart from the dreaded bed at Andasibe Lemurs Lodge all was utterly perfect. - Thank you!'

'Gersica is an absolute star - knowledge of everything from culture to flora and fauna and any Madagascar topic inbetween. Nothing was too much trouble for her; always a smile on her face. The best guide we have ever had the pleasure to have been led by on any tour we have ever been on.

Overall holiday satisfaction (07 - 22 October 2017 Madagascar Wildlife Discovery Small group tour): Excellent

We appreciate that we signed up to a hectic schedule but it would have been ideal to weave a little more free time into the programme. We recognise however that there were often great distances to cover, which makes this difficult.

Overall, a very comprehensive tour of a fascinating island. We went expecting an adventure - and were not disappointed!

Thanks finally to Derek for the excellent support and advice; and to Gersica and her team for their hard work and their dedication to make such a memorable tour'

'Hi Craig

Just a quick note, Want to tell you what an amazing trip we had. (Madagascar Wildlife Discovery Tour: 07 - 22 October 2017 departure) Not a holiday more an adventure! All the things you said about the trip were true. It is not a destination for everyone. The journeys are long and tiring but necessary to see the different landscapes and wildlife. We had a few issues with some of the accommodation but nothing we did not expect thanks to your accurate briefing before we booked. We had a lovely group overall but a couple of them were struggling.... All in all everyone got something out of the trip.... We had absolutely no problems with it and indeed felt that we had a real adventure. Our guide, Gersica was superb. She was professional, charming, knowledgeable, helpful and patient throughout the trip'.

I am totally in love with Lemurs!! See attached picture (one of thousands).

Thanks again for all your help

Very Best Regards

Feedback report:

We had a fantastic time in Madagascar. It is a challenging country to visit in some ways. The infrastructure is a 'work in progress'. I think travellers should be encouraged to do some research before going there. It is a very special place and anyone who has an interest in wildlife and the natural world generally, should go there and soon.

Our experience with Rainbow Tours was very good. Craig Kaufman gave us a very good briefing as to what to expect before we booked. It turned out to be very accurate on tour, so nothing disappointed us.

The choice of itinerary turned out to be a perfect introduction to Madagascar. We saw a variety of landscapes and a good number of different species of fauna and flora. We saw 22 different lemurs, 10 different chameleons, many birds, lizards, frogs, insects, snakes, and a few other mammals including a Vontsira mena (ringtailed mongoose) and a Tenrec.

Journeys were very long but interesting and necessary to cover the different habitats.

Accommodation was better than expected in some places. Food was good but too many three-course meals with large portions. The tour guide Gersica was exceptional. She was always cheerful, patient, helpful and knowledgeable. On our walks through the reserves she was as good as spotting and identifying things as the local guides were. Her choice off local guides was excellent. They did everything they could to ensure we all had good views of anything they found.

No complaints re: tour content; we had a great time and a real life experience!'
