CAMPING
Unlike many campgrounds in Europe and the United States, campgrounds are rustic in Madagascar. The bivouacs are "wild" under the stars in the southern sky, like the wilderness along the river on the sand during the descent of the Tsiribihina river. Our sites are chosen with great care. The beauty of the place, its proximity to water (river, lake, sea), and safety are top priorities. We provide spacious igloo tents for two persons with a basic foam mattress.

We handle assembly of tents and preparation the kitchen, although help in erecting tents and preparing food is always welcome. Cooking is done over a wood fire. We provide all cooking equipment.
