Iharana is a small, intimate bush camp situated just outside the Ankarana reserve. Accommodating its guests in sixteen cosy cottages, the traditional Malagasy built bush camp is a true wilderness retreat, making up for what it lacks in facilities (needless to say, there's no TV at this remote property) with its stunningly scenic setting amid exceptional natural beauty - perfect for those seeking a real back to nature experience!

Each of Iharana's sixteen cottages is built on two levels and features an en-suite bathroom. The mezzanine-level sleeping area is completely open on one side and draped in mosquito netting.

Iharana's public areas centre on its thatched lounge and dining room, where a fabulous blend of Malagasy and international cuisine is served. The dining area opens onto a large outdoor terrace, the perfect spot for enjoying sunsets over the lake and the Tsingy massif, where the keen-eyed can sometimes spy lemur and exotic birdlife.

Accommodation

Sixteen cottages built from mud, thatch and palm leaves nestle on the edge of Lake Laka, overlooking the Ankarana Reserve and its famous tsingy formations.

The en-suite cottages are all built on two levels, with upstairs bedroom and downstairs lounge area. They are comfortably furnished with hand-carved wooden furniture and Malagasy artwork.

Electric lighting and hot water are solar-powered. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property though the connection is poor.
