On the South-eastern tip of Madagascar, the boutique lodge, Manafiafy Beach & Rainforest Lodge, has opened and is a firm favourite with Rainbow Tours customers. Unbeknown to most, this is arguably where Whale watching is at its best in Malagasy waters - the migrating Humpbacks can be seen from late June through to early November. The beach is lovely. Visitors can take boat trips into the mangrove system and guided day and night walks in east coast littoral forest are sure to reveal some rare wildlife.
