# Masoala Forest Lodge *Source: https://bonamy.co.uk/lodges/masoala-forest-lodge* Tucked away on Madagascar’s northeast coast, Masoala Forest Lodge offers an eco-retreat with seven tree-house bungalows, private beaches, and a rich wildlife experience in a private forest reserve. It's the perfect escape for nature-lovers seeking tranquillity and adventure. ## Profile Nestled within the untamed beauty of Madagascar’s northeast coast, Masoala Forest Lodge offers an immersive experience in one of the world’s most pristine rainforests. Surrounded by the dense canopy of Masoala National Park and bordered by the crystal-clear waters of the Tampolo Marine Reserve, this eco-lodge invites you to reconnect with nature in its purest form. Accessible only by foot or boat, the lodge offers unmatched tranquillity with just seven palm-thatched treehouses elevated on stilted wooden platforms. Each treehouse provides breathtaking views of the forest and ocean, blending traditional Betsimisaraka architecture with modern eco-friendly designs. With a private beach only steps away, guests fall asleep to the symphony of forest creatures and the gentle lapping of ocean waves. ## Profile The lodge’s 10-hectare private forest reserve is home to a wide variety of lemurs, geckos, and birds. Guests can embark on exclusive night walks to spot Madagascar's nocturnal wildlife or explore the marked trails at their leisure. Activities like sea kayaking, snorkelling, whale watching, and guided forest treks offer an exciting way to engage with this biodiverse paradise. ## Activities list Embark on a day or night walk with expert local guides who will bring the jungle to life as they share their extensive knowledge of Madagascar's fascinating flora, fauna, birds, insects and wildlife. Snorkel right off the beach in warm coral-rich waters and explore the islands, reefs, rivers and deserted beaches of the sheltered coastline on a kayak. Between July and September, watch the humpback whales come into the Bay d’Antongil every year to breed and calf. A truly spectacular experience. You'll find the local village of Ambodiforaha just a short walk from the lodge. Enjoy a traditional women’s dance and local song group performance. The Betsimisaraka tribe are eager to provide insight into their traditions and techniques of subsistence farming and forest life. --- ## Contact Email: safari@bonamy.co.uk Phone (UK/EU): +44 (0) 20 3575 1098 Phone (US): +1 917 310 1920 Website: https://bonamy.co.uk
