Northern Madagascar
Manga Soa Lodge
The French owned and managed Manga Soa Lodge is located on the eastern coast of Nosy Be island on the scenic beach at Befefika. The lodge is just 10 minutes’ drive from the airport and offers a luxury experience ideal for some down time after an exciting wildlife journey.
The lodge has 5 bungalows as well as 2 private villas, all individually designed and decorated. The standard rooms are on the side of the hill in the garden and equipped with comfortable double beds, mini bar, TV and sliding doors that open onto stunning views to the Mitsio islands.
All of the rooms have ceiling fans, mosquito nets and 24-hour electricity (subject to mains blackouts). There is access to the small beach and boats can be hired to take you snorkelling etc. There is also a small infinity pool and massage room, and an excellent restaurant serving delicious gourmet food, although the menu can be quite repetitive.

It’s more a honeymooners/couples hotel, and for those looking for seclusion and peace. Not a good option for active families as it’s a taxi-ride way from anywhere else, and unsuitable for those with mobility problems as there are many steps to negotiate.

“It was a fab trip. Everything went very well in Madagascar. All the local guides were really good but special praise goes to [our guide] at Andasibe – so knowledgeable and interesting. He, like all the guides, showed a real love for the wildlife and environment. Excellent wildlife: highlights – fosas in daylight within 10 mins of the first rainforest walk, diademed sifakas, golden bamboo and ringtailed lemurs and giraffe necked weevil.
