Eastern Madagascar
Saha Forest Camp
A relatively new and friendly camp built into the side of a hillside overlooking rice paddies in Anjzorobe. Accommodation is in comfortable and tastefully decorated, tented cabins.
Wonderfully prepared Malagasy meals are taken at the restaurant with a wonderful vista over the forest. Temperatures may become quite cool, especially in the evening and early mornings. A range of activities are offered including forest walks in search of the local lemurs which include the black morph of indri, diademed sifaka and eastern woolly lemur. Chameleons, frogs and geckos are also abundant and the area offers oustanding birding with many endemic species present. Other activities on offer include village visits and a tour of the traditional farming practices.
Facilities
Restaurant, private bathrooms with hot water, living area and terrace.

Loved it all! 17 species of lemurs, loads of reptiles and endemic birds. Did masses of photography. Highlights included male giraffe necked weevil, witnessing an indri howling and Verreauxs sifakas jumping through the trees in gorgeous early morning light. [Our guide] was great as were local guides. Very happy with the itinerary. We wanted it to be a wildlife holiday as that is our primary interest, but found the landscape variety and tribal dimensions very rewarding too.
