Northern Madagascar
Iharana Bush Camp
The Iharana Bush camp has simple but lovely cabanas inspired by the traditional Malagasy lodge with ochre walls, satrana-roofed with dividing walls made with plants, woods, roots, creeper and laterite.
The cabanas are small individual lodges under the shade of mango trees. Four of them are by the lake and have a luxury private balcony at the foot of the Tsingy. Each cabana is equipped with private bathroom with hot /cold water and all usual items needed.
The cabanas use ecological energy. You can have hot water and light through solar panels. Be informed that there are no plugs in the cabanas. You can recharge your appliances in an office especially intended for that purpose.
Their restaurant combines western specialties and a slight oriental touch. They even make their own homemade jam for breakfast.
The restaurant continues out to a wide balcony, a perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying the sunset.

Having recently returned from a truly memorable 3 weeks in Madagascar we wanted to express our sincerest thanks to you Helen, and all at Reef and Rainforest for arranging such a superb wildlife viewing experience.
As you are aware, we were particularly keen to see and photograph the fosa. At Kirindy forest we actually encountered 3. Despite the rather challenging accommodation we would highly recommend the Kirindy experience to all those wanting an exceptional primate viewing experience.
Overall our lemur species/subspecies count was 22 and other notable sightings included 2 species of mongoose, giant jumping rats, a huge Madagascar ground boa, humpback whales and the Madagascar fish eagle.
Every detail of the trip from start to finish was superbly well arranged and managed, which cannot be easy in a country with such complex problems. Well done Helen.
All aspects of the trip were outstanding. Wildlife, people, culture and geography. We will certainly return again to visit the north of the island and return to paradise, Anjajavy.
This was our second trip with Reef and Rainforest and I cannot speak highly enough of your company. I would recommend your services to any natural world/wildlife enthusiast. Thank you again.
