Anjajavy le Lodge - Relais&Châteaux

The highlight of our 4 week holiday to Africa. The people, tours and guides, accommodation, food, drinks, overall ambience was outstanding. We saw lots of lemurs. The team organised a surprise farewell dinner and song for us that was very beautiful. Recommend staying 5 nights at least. Big thanks to the Anjajavy team.

Isn’t it great when you research and plan for months, you spend the considerable $$ and you make the effort to travel to an incredibly remote location …. and the experience lives up to every expectation (and more). Anjajavy Lodge is located on a beautiful peninsular, a 90 minute charter flight from Antananarivo, Madagascar. The surrounding protected area is large and contains a diverse range of different ecosystems. It is home to a variety of different plants and creatures, most of which can be found nowhere else in the world. The Lemurs are, of course, the highlight. You will see lemurs! …. climbing, prancing and jumping all around the lodge and surrounding area. The cabins are comfortable, although the air conditioning struggles a little in the late afternoon/evening (make sure you find the electric fan in your room, as it makes sleeping easier). The food is delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful. And there is a good variety of interesting daily activities. We enjoyed the mangrove sunset cruise, the baobab walk, the tour to see the giant tortoises and the night walk; and we felt 5 nights at the lodge was perfect. And every now and then during your stay - whether enjoying afternoon tea watching the lemurs, sipping a cocktail by the pool or eating a delicious three course meal under the stars - it hits you where you are, and just how incredible it is that you can be so comfortable in somewhere so remote. That is the essence of Anjajavy.

Amazing four night stay at Ajajavy lodge with my partner and sons (12 & 16). A truly magical experience which we can't recommend highly enough! Beautifully spacious individual huts with big downstairs room and balcony and second room for extra space for privacy or some kids (in our case we took two huts). All meals were included and we're really exceptional. Deliciously prepared and as good as in many of the best restaurants back in London. A big surprise given how remote the lodge is. Seeing and experiencing the lemurs every day in the Oasis with delicious tea and biscuits was magical. Daily walks are included in the rate in the morning and afternoon, and fun boat or kayak trips can be arranged including visiting to the giant tortoise project. A big thank you to the whole Anjajavy team!
