Isalo Ranch
This charming and well-positioned hotel offers accommodation in simple African style bungalows with private bathrooms and a small patio area with deckchairs to relax. This is one of the more basic options for exploring Isalo National Park but it has a friendly atmosphere and there is a swimming pool overlooking the massif. The rooms are basic and lack air-conditioning or fans but there are deck chairs and hammocks outside to enjoy the view.
Facilities include private bathrooms with hot water, a laundry service and there is an a la carte restaurant serving traditional Malagasy cuisine.Within the hotel ground there is also a campsite and BBQ station.

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.
